Ughh, sorry about this, I sent this email directly instead of git-send-email,
so the copy-paste might have changed something.

The version of git I'm currently using parses the stable address as
stable@...r.kernel.org#4.1+ and gsmtp complains about a malformed address...

I'll try to resend this patch ASAP.
