I have got an idea regarding the send-email. If there are no recipients given, it could propose recipients using the new 'git contacts' This would help people new to projects to not forget people, who may have the most knowledge reviewing that specific patch.

Unfortunately I cannot read/write perl, so I cannot solve it
myself in the near future, but I'd put it on my todo list for later.
