This document doesn't mention it yet, but I assume it's best to submit
patches in the message body rather than as attachments? (Unless, I suppose,
they contain binary content.)

Running perl -pi -e 's/^(Subject: ).(PATCH[^]]*)./$1$2:/' *.patch on
format-patch files fixes that (it seems command line options to git can't).
Maybe a useful note for the dev guide?
