I have two problems with this. Firstly using `git send-email` is nowhere mentioned in the commit policy [1]. Secondly for a lot of people using `git send-email` is no option because setup is too difficult, their MUA does not integrate well with `git send-email` so the address book is not available, they do want to have sent messages archived in their Sent folder, they want to ask some questions regarding the patch and therefore need to write a message and attach it. In my opinion we should therefore find a way to also work easily with attached patches having been created with `git format-patch`. Can some of the developers mention what the disadvantage of attached patches is. You can easily quote them to and saving and applying should be as easy as with messages sent using `git send-email`. The only disadvantage I can think of seems to be that it is not displayed in the mailing list archive. And of course that it is not easy to retrieve them from Patchwork. If that is the only obstacle I would try to contact the Patchwork hackers and ask them to implement an option to retrieve the attachment if it has for example the extension »patch« or »diff«.
