It just didn't appear as a Git formatted patch. You should really spend
a little bit of time learning git format-patch / send-email, you'll
save a lot of time down the road if you use the proper workflow.

Yes, "git send-email" requires a SMTP server, but if you have a GMail
account, then you have a SMTP server available.

It build fine for me without it, as far as I remember.

If it really doesn't build, then we would ideally prefer a patch (which
gets submitted upstream).

Thanks!
