Sorry, this is my first patch series.

I was having massive trouble with git send-email. It turns out that on
my PC's linux install which is debian sid, I have to install a separate
package to get git send-email to work. I just now figured that out.

I'm also hitting issues because I have my own e-mail server. People
seem to have lots of spam detection and since I'm sending out a very
large amount of e-mail to lots of people my e-mail server is getting
lots of connection timeouts while distributing the mail. My postfix
mail queue is taking 3-4 hours to empty after distributing the patches.

I'll try again with git send-email.
