#64 The linked instructions for "one off contributions" do not work/are unclear

The instructions for one off contributions linked here do not work. The page links to Use Fedpkg Anonymously, but those directions will not work once the user attempts to run the fedpkg commit -p -c command.

The other link goes to this page here, where the instructions to possibly get it to work are split in a F.A.Q., rather than actually being instructions, or at least I assume so.

Ideally, there should just be a tutorial page dedicated to one-off contributions.

You are exactly right, this part of the docs is not in a good shape.
Fixing it would be actually really important,
because the ("anonymous") pull request workflow is the sensible first step for new contributors.
It should even be recommended instead of immediately aiming for sponsorship.
Documenting the workflow properly is just waiting for somebody to do it.

As a quick fix, I fixed just enough so that
you will not be led to an outdated wiki page with no useful information,
and that the fedpkg usage example actually works.

Could you check pull request #65
and confirm that the new set of instructions actually allow you to create a pull request?
