Incremental patches? I think this won't work in general because the history typically contains merges that are not representable by a patch. Hm, you could leave out the merges. But then they might not apply cleanly to upstream's tree. Do you really consider the intermediate steps interesting? IMHO a topic branch is a unit and if it's sensible to send in in (say) three mails then the patch should better be seperated into three patches/topic branches. Maybe you could present an example where you can show that having the full history is sensible?
