Why have you attached your patch?  And this "From:" line is obviously
wrong :(

You need to put some type of description in the changelog section.

And a new line before the signed-off-by: line.

Can you just use git send-email to send the patch, and not attach it, so
that I don't have to hand-edit the patch in order to apply it properly?

thanks,
