[sorry, once again I have to sent it a second time, as vger rejected it; thunderbird once again messed for some reason used "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" then it should have used 8bit; I tried to track this down by sending mails to myself, but then it sets 8bit correctly when needed :-/ ]

Well, that is already explained in Documentation/maintainer/configure-git.rst afaics -- which is the better place afaics, as that is something maintainers should do, and not something people should do when submitting a patch.
