It is practically impossible to use git send-email without running your own
mail server and having all the problems that entails (managing spam, making
sure you are not blacklisted etc).
As we can see the project itself is blacklisted with its current mail
server configuration so how on earth do you expect end-users to get this
right?

And spare me another rant about how it's big corporations taking control of
things in a way you don't like.
