I still don't use git-send-email, as I afraid that I'll blow it and end
up sending a thousand patches to every developer that ever touched the
kernel ;-)

I still use quilt to send my patch series. Just because I know how it
works and I trust it. And I get to see exactly what it is about to send
(the only thing it can send is what's in the patches/ directory,
nothing else).

I have a script that takes my git tree and creates the patches in a
format that quilt will send them nicely.
