For anything other than single patches (which I understand this is)
there is a preference for using the create-pull-request and
send-pull-request tools which ensure the patches are available via a git
pull from a public repository and also apply a cover letter. Often times
I leave the cover letter blank for the same reason Bruce has stated
here, and I think that's a reasonable approach, especially for a short
or an eclectic set of changes.
