So, your patches are on Github not yet in the mailing list for review. You have to use /submit commands to allow GitGitGadget to send your patches to the mailing list. You can use /preview to see how your patches look. Also, you need to read [1] to understand how to write a good commit message when sending patches to the Git community. You should always sign off your commit and that is missing in your current patches.
