An alternative approach would be to _just_ explain how your patch series works, and then say

	"Ok, here is the git branch.  Have fun with it.  If someone wants to
	incorporate it, that's great.  Let me know if you have any questions."

That's totally fine. Then someone else can submit the patches and help to massage the patches into a form that is ready for application on your behalf.

I thought SubmittingPatches did describe how to send patch series. Could you point to the section that was lacking? Or are you just still in disbelief that people review each patch in a thread, one by one, sending emails to each other?

Grateful but impatient, Jonathan
