Thanks for the advice. Annoying the maintainers was definitely not my intention.
My apologies for any inconvenience.

Ok. Understood

I have a Macbook as a work computer.
I've found online that the way to send it on Mac is with mutt.
Most certanly I lack some skills, but I took me almost 1 day to have everything working
mutt + google account + script mutt_oauth2.py

So, quickly jumping to git format-patch and git send-email was something I was not looking
forward to.
