Oh, sure, that was just an example because I was too lazy to construct a 
command that would send me your ssh keys :)

Yes, my main point really was that I personally would find it super-nice 
to just mark particular branches in my kernel.org repositories as "send 
notifications for these", and author (and anyone else in "-by:" lines) 
would automatically receive nice notification once commit appears there. 
Without any need of wrapping simple git-am + git push with more and more 
bloated scripting.
