I wrote a bit of a script around this because git send-email just too
hard to use

The key workflow change I made was to have it prepare all the emails
to send and open them in an editor for review - exactly as they would
be sent to the lists.

It uses a empty 'cover-letter' commit and automatically transforms it
into exactly the right stuff. Keeps track of everything you send in
git, and there is a little tool to auto-run git range-diff to help
build change logs..

https://github.com/jgunthorpe/Kernel-Maintainer-Tools/blob/master/gj_tools/cmd_send_patches.py

I've been occasionaly wondering if I should suggest Konstantin add a
sending side to b4, maybe using some of those ideas..

(careful if you run it, it does autosend without prompting)
