if anyone needs to install get-send-email see:
https://git-send-email.io/

if you cannot use get-send-email. (misconfigured corporate firewalls?, north korea?)
you can create patches using git format-patch
to turn the last 2 commits into patches
git format-patch -2

then attach the created files to your mail or 2 mails, or just copy and paste them
inline into mails. Make sure your mail client doesnt do word wraping or
other whitespace "cleanup"

Thats all there is to it. get-send-email is recommanded (because its very
easy normally) but git will work perfectly fine without it

if our guides about how to submit patches are bad, our guides need to be
fixed.
