trivial. This section in SubmittingPatches explains how to do so.

Submitting properly formatted patches via Gmail is simple now that
IMAP support is available. First, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your
account settings:
[imap]
folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
user = user@gmail.com
pass = p4ssw0rd
port = 993
sslverify = false
Next, ensure that your Gmail settings are correct. In "Settings" the
"Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages" should be checked.
Once your commits are ready to send to the mailing list, run the following
command to send the patch emails to your Gmail Drafts folder.
$ git format-patch -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send
Go to your Gmail account, open the Drafts folder, find the patch email, fill
in the To: and CC: fields and send away!
