Although I haven't send patches to Russell in a while, I still have a
git alias in my .gitconfig (only works with one patch at a time IIRC,
sending multiple patches may arrive in a different order):

[alias]
send-rmk-email = !git send-email --add-header=\"KernelVersion: $(git describe --abbrev=0)\" --no-thread --suppress-cc=all --to="patches@arm.linux.org.uk"
