This is more of a TODO note to myself than a bug, but if someone else gets around to fixing these that'd be great too.
git-send-email should:
* Complain loudly on "*** SUBJECT HERE ***" and "*** BLURB HERE ***"
This should have an additional "are you sure" dialog:
Subject: [PATCH 00/20] *** SUBJECT HERE ***
