SubmittingPatches: provide tag naming advice 

Current statistics show a strong preference to only capitalize the first
letter in a hyphenated tag, but that some guidance would be helpful:

git log |
  perl -ne 'next unless /^\s+(?:Signed-[oO]ff|Acked)-[bB]y:/;
    s/^\s+//;s/:.*/:/;print'|
  sort|uniq -c|sort -n

@ -368,6 +368,9 @@ While you can also create your own trailer if the situation warrants it, we
encourage you to instead use one of the common trailers in this project
highlighted above.
Only capitalize the very first letter of tags, i.e. favor
"Signed-off-by" over "Signed-Off-By" and "Acked-by:" over "Acked-By".
