Please put that info in the changelog text when you send your next
version.

You can use mutt to thread things, you need to do it "by hand" with
mutt, that's what I used to do all the time before git send-email was
created (it's based on some old scripts of mine.)  But I would recommend
setting up git send-email if you want to send lots of patches over time.
