This is actually a biggie.  The less work I have to apply a patch the
more likely it is I'm not going to put it off and possibly forget about it.

git contains special tools to take a patch in email and apply it
directly to the repository with comments and all, but it requires a
fairly carefully formatted email.  The format of that email is part of
the Linux kernel documentation:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches;h=a417b25fb1aa40f62234c222db0a4be1cfaa938d;hb=HEAD

If you send me an email in this format, I can apply it using the git
tools in literally a few seconds.
