    I didn't notice if your mailer corrupted the patch but if it did 'git 
send-email' should be used indeed.

    No need to resend if it wasn't corrupted. Just replying to this patch with 
his sign-off should be enough -- patchwork should collect the tags from the 
follow-ups.

    No, not on this list. DaveM prefers the patch reposts to be done as the 
fresh new postings.
