Hi,
I have a problem related to my workflow when patching kernel sources.
What I do by now, when sending patches:
scripts/get_maintainer.pl --file my/patched/file.c
git format-patch -s -n --cover-letter
# and then appending _every single mail from the get_maintainer.pl
# call with either --to or --cc
# and the commit range
git send-email --no-chain-reply-to
# and then appending _every single mail from the get_maintainer.pl
# call with either --to or --cc
./00*
The second step is mainly copy-paste from the format-patch call, but I
guess you already notice my issue: I have to "hand-copy" every email
address from the get_maintainer.pl call.
I also send my patches to two persons which do not get listed from the
get_maintainer.pl call most of the time, plus I do not send my patches
to the LKML directly (but the driverdev ML).
I consider this hard work, especially when having a lot of _small_
patchsets, as I do this for every single patchset and it really annoys
me.
Are there tools somewhere to simplify these steps? Something like
"generate & send patches from bla-blubb...foobazbar"
and then it:
1) Gets mailaddrs from get_maintainer.pl
2) lets me add additional and delete receivers
3) asks me which one gets a --to and which one a --cc
4) generates the patches with format-patch
5) (optionally) runs checkpatch.pl on it
6) sends the patches with send-email after confirmation
Are there some tools out there? Or how do you guys do this? Or are
there tweaks built-in in git that I don't know yet?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
