On the contrary, the design of git was created with the idea of handling patches via e-mail in mind.  Tools like git-format-patch, git-am, and git-send-email exist to allow this workflow.  Linus wanted a tool that would automate and enhance the way the kernel ML already did work instead of demanding that they change.
