Will there be some recommendations on howto post patches so that it works well? And don't forget that for somepeople just telling "a set of patches is good as long as it can be bisected" is too short :-)Yup, we'll have a SubmittingPatches that provides the recommended work flow. A really nice property of git is that if you use the various git tools to send patches (git-format-patch/git-send-email) then a maintainer can grab those automatically via git-am. It significantly reduces the likelihood of loosing information in the process.
Unfortunately tools like git-send-email make me loose information instead, by not saving the sent patches in my mail client's or IMAP server's Sent Mail folder...
