There are some even nicer tools you can use on top, i.e. "b4":
https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/sending-a-kernel-patch-with-b4-part-1

This blog post doesn't mention the magic trick:
b4 prep --set-prefixes net-next

And
b4 trailers -u

Which is what you need to make it an awesome net contribution
patch series tool.
