FWIW this *is* a git-based workflow, git comes with the ability to
format patches for emails and import such patches (and was designed with
this in mind for use in the development of linux) — see man
git-format-patch and git-am. I personally think it's fine receiving
patches like this — if volume increases maybe there should be another
list specifically for patches, but at current levels IMHO it's no problem.
