I just tried this with https://github.com/git/git/pull/139 and would like to tell you about two wishes I had immediately:

- If the author of a patch I am submitting is not myself, could submitGit maybe add that `From: ` line at the top of the mail?
- The patch series is sent without a cover letter, but it would be *really* great if a path series consisting of more than one patch could have the initial comment of the Pull Request as a cover letter, with the link to the original Pull Request at the bottom? This would also be the mail to use in the "In-reply-yo" header instead of the first patch.

Thanks so much!
Dscho
