FTR I should have added "I don't want to reroll this right now so soon
to correct just this error, seems a bit premature" because that's what I

In hindsight this is what I shoould have said.

Makes sense, thanks. I need to set up `send-email` so that I can start
sending individual patches like in your hypothetical scenario (I don't
