Sorry for the delay. If you really cannot configure git send-email (which is pretty flexible these days) to talk with your corporate mail server, and IT policy has access to external email providers also blocked, that's just a tricky spot. I don't want to promote further centralization of software by telling users to start using github or gitlab directly, and I'm not sure we can sustain the overhead of allowing users to have access to a "contrib" repository. So, as long as it's not against corporate policy (as that would in turn violate the rules behind a Signed-off-by tag), taking the patches out of the corporate environment and to a personal machine where in turn you can configure git send-email and gmail (or what have you) is the best general answer. -- Tom
