I'll get to the rest later...
but I tried sending the patch via email as you said followed this...
verbatim except replacing user@ and p4ssw0rd with my credentials, and
I got an auth error back. currently I've no idea how I would send
stuff from gmail. and I reject inline patches in funtoo because I use
webmail and they are impossible for me to handle easily.
Submitting properly formatted patches via Gmail is simple now that
IMAP support is available. First, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your
account settings:
[imap]
folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
user = user@xxxxxxxxx
pass = p4ssw0rd
port = 993
sslverify = false
Next, ensure that your Gmail settings are correct. In "Settings" the
"Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages" should be checked.
Once your commits are ready to send to the mailing list, run the following
command to send the patch emails to your Gmail Drafts folder.
$ git format-patch -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send
