Somewhat tangentially, it's worth mentioning that the comments
appearing after the "---" delimiter exist only in the original patch
submissions, not in the final commits. Hence they are not available to
anyone reviewing the changes after acceptance.

It would be nice if there was a way to link automatically a git commit
to an archived copy of the email message in which it was originally
submitted.
