Anuz, I think your document is right on-target.    I would just add,
"Don't ask for help with basic C programming."    Yes, there are lots
of idioms in the kernel that are not found elsewhere in C, and asking
about those is on-topic, but questioners should not (intentionally)
ask questions that will be answered by consulting K&R.

Also, readers should not ask questions relevant to particular boards
or drivers.   Those questions should be asked (if at all) on
specialist mailing lists.
