I was confused. My big problem was that we don't really have an in tree user, and there wasn't a good explanation anywhere. So it was hard to track this down.

I'm going to lobby for a script to import patches from email being in the git tree just so people can see how this is done, and probably because there are a lot of people who have been reinventing this script :)
