Anybody which wants to is more than welcome.
Does this script send separate emails for each patch ? Otherwise it will cause issues for the patchwork server. As I said it can only handle one patch per email, that's why git-send-email is handy however git-send-email will not respect the rules we currently have in freeipa. I think using patchwork to track patches rather than relying on a subject line is superior, but I do not want to impose it.
