It would be nice and informative to have two diffstats in the announcement:

- an 'absolute' one that shows all the hugetlb changes relative to upstream 
  (or relative to -mm, whichever tree you use as a base),

- and [if possible] a 'delta' one that shows the diffstat to the previous
  version you've announced. [say in this current case the #21..#22 delta 
  diffstat] [this might not always be easy to provide, when the upstream base 
  changes.]

That way people can see the general direction and scope from the email, 
without having to fetch any of the trees.
