Junio C Hamano:

How are you sending your output from format-patch, and how does having To: and Cc: header pregenerated by format-patch help you?

The patches I have sent to the list have all been sent using

  git format-patch something
  $EDITOR *.patch # remove mbox header, and add To:
  for file in *.patch ; do sendmail -t < $file ; done

as every attempt I have done to send them through Alpine or other MUAs have failed horribly.

I haven't minded having to edit the patch files manually (since I have also visually inspected the patch files in the process), but being able to add the To: line for the list automatically for each of the patches lessens the risk of misspelling or missing it completely when fixing the patches up.
