Finding a way to post the patch in-line will also probably get
better
attention: just pasting it into the mail client will probably mangle the
patch, I'd recommend git send-email.

I'm new to git so I suspect that I don't understand the proper method for
patch submission. But this is the problem that I see with your suggestion.
git send-email implies usage of git-format-patch. But git-format-patch
creates a set of files one per commit.
However, don't you want to submit the diff between the changed code and
the master, i.e. git diff master > patch?
