Maybe a different style of work there.  The submission style we're asking
people to follow here is exactly the same as on linux-kernel, netdev or
other kernel-related lists.

I just asked somebody; this is the answer I got:

<snip>
  I have never had any luck getting mailers to send patches in a way that
  no one complained about. In the end, I used this
  http://www.speakeasy.org/~pj99/sgi/sendpatchset

  I found the best way is to have a directory with patches like
  001_part1.patch, 002_part2.patch etc with matching explainations in
  001_part1.mail 002_part2.mail . I have a script that generates the final
  mails and feeds them to sendpatchset
<snip>

The script may not be what you want but I guess I'll be something like it
to deal with the huge patchsets I'm sometimes fiddling with - like the
452 patch monster right now ...
