Somewhat tangentially, it's worth mentioning that the comments appearing after the "---" delimiter exist only in the original patch submissions, not in the final commits. Hence they are not available to anyone reviewing the changes after acceptance. It would be nice if there was a way to link automatically a git commit to an archived copy of the email message in which it was originally submitted.
