Git send-email is a good way to send patches. You may also use
a decent e-mail client that won't mangle with whitespaces. I use
myself claws-mail; other develpers use emacs. Feel free to pick your
poison, but if the email doesn't handle whitespaces well and/or
don't allow writing the answers below the original comments (instead
of top-posting), it shouldn't be used.

No. Never attach a patch as the mailing list will reject, and if not,
patchwork.linuxtv.org won't pick it.

You may use gmail, if you setup your e-mail client to use it as a
SMTP server. Using webmail solutions typically won't work open source
discussions, as it does lots of wrong things, like top-posting, not
honoring 80 columns on emails and/or mangling tabs and white spaces.

Thanks,
