I would say either link or link + patches. Or  only patches if there's nowhere 
to link. But eventually it would be necessary to pull the changes from 
somewhere, either by cherry-picking or from a branch (preferred) or from mail 
attachments (would be nice to avoid if possible). Adding the patch files to the 
e-mail would probably be good as well (if/when github.com would go down or lose 
history or changes URL layout etc). Mailing list archive is one of the most 
valuable assets of a project communication medium, IMHO.

As github allows to comment on patches and pull requests to single line 
granularity, having a link to some "gitweb" style location would be preferred.

You can use "git format-patch HEAD~2" to generate patch files in the current 
folder for last two commits.
