A couple of trivial things you could do that would make my life a little
easier: the body of your patch email currently looks like:

The "From:" line is perfect, it gets the author correct in git
automatically. However the line after that with the changelog subject
shouldn't be there -- git will automatically use the "Subject:" line of
the email itself for the patch title, and so I just have to strip the
duplicate subject by hand to avoid it showing up in git twice. Also the
"--" is not quite right -- it needs to be "---" (three '-'s, not two)
for git to strip it automatically; as it stands I get a "--" in the
changelog after your signoff unless I strip it by hand. And also
including a diffstat after the "---" is helpful, so I can see what the
patch touches.
Using "git format-patch" possibly combined with "git send-email" is an
easy way to get things right.
