Yes, I really am that lazy. :)

Firstly, I don't send enough patches upstream to enable me to learn then
retain the knowledge to quickly type out a `git send-email` command. If
I write a script just once and keep it centrally located, it will
inevitably save me time in the long-term. Also, when I draft patches I
may do so from a different email address depending on the hat I'm
wearing at any given moment. Supplying an account flag "--can" or
"--lin" is somewhat easier than typing out different credentials each
time. "--smtp-server", "--smtp-server-port", "--smtp-encryption",
"--smtp-user", "--smtp-pass" and "--from" all differ from account to
account.

With this script I dump the patch-set into a directory and issue
"send-patches.sh --lin --arm <patchdir>" and off goes the patch-set to
the Arm ML. However, as Baruch and yourself kindly noticed, I omitted
functionality to add the maintainer and interested party email address -
I'll fix that now.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Kind regards,
Lee
