I generally prefer patches to be submitted so that they can be imported
straight into git with "git am".  This means that it doesn't matter if
they are inline or an attachment, but they need to be a text file
(text/plain), not something else.  Quoted-printable and base64 is also
really messy to deal with.

This mailing list is the best address to send them to.

Most suggestions in the SubmittingPatches for the Linux kernel apply
here, too:
