"Greg Kroah-Hartman described it as overly complex, though, and suggested simply posting patches as a reply to previous versions, but others pointed out that not all mailers would make that entirely easy to do."

I agree with Greg. That's what reply is there for, to provide context. Also reply is such a basic functionality I'm really curious what kind of mail program does not support reply?

I doubt that anyone can come up with an alternative to reply, that is as easy to use and adopt by most/all developers.

I think my general complaint is that the built in git tooling for sending to a mailing list does not do nearly enough porcelain stuff to make the patch submission flow easy. I'm always sad when using git send email.

But there is some much potential here! Surely someone must have written nice wrapper scripts..
