Hmm. As Junio mentioned, this is really an easier way of doing:

  git format-patch -o tmp "$@"
  $EDITOR tmp/*
  git send-email tmp

So I guess a wrapper program would suffice, that just called send-email. But of course then you would have to think of a new name, and explain the confusion between it and send-email.
