For just sending patches to the list, the simplest way is to just use GIT
itself. eg, my workflow is to create a branch for all my changes, and
then periodically spam the list with the changes on the branch

   git checkout -b mywork
   ...make some commits on 'mywork' branch
   git send-email \
          --compose \
          --no-chain-reply-to \
          --to libvir-list at redhat.com master..

Since we're on 'mybranch', the tag 'master..'  means send all the
commits made on the branch that aren't in master. The '--compose'
is good if you're sending a series of patches, making it display 
an editor for writing the covering letter. The commit messages
form the body of each mail.

Tip when learning to use git send-email is to send the email to
yourself instead of the mailing list first :-)

Daniel
