I wanted to mention a few features that have been popular in the git-publish patch series management tool (https://github.com/stefanha/git-publish/) in case you want to include something similar in b4: - "Profiles" (.gitpublishprofile or stored in .git/config) with To and CC addresses, --subject-prefix, cover letter templates, etc. The default profile is automatically loaded when you run "git publish". If the git repo you're working on includes a default profile then you don't need to specify any command-line options to send a correctly formatted patch series to the maintainers! A great help for one-off contributors but also a time-saver for regular contributors. - An interactive mode that lets you inspect the final patch series and edit the CC list. Avoids mistakes and embarassment :). - Saving the CC list between revisions (v2, v3, etc). - Sending pull requests (for sub-maintainers) because there are times when pull requests also need a v2 or even a v3 ;). The workflow is basically the same as sending patch series. - githooks(5) before sending patches series and pull requests. Useful for coding style and patch series linters.
