Patches via the mailinglist are great. Has my vote :-)

Good point. We can ask on the git list where Junio keeps track of
maint, and pu ("proposed updates"), all on one list. In general,
people mention "below the fold" (git discards anything in the commit
msg after a left-aligned "--" separator) which branch is meant to.

On the git list we also use a number of tools that make life easier --
I cannot remember the name but we have a bot that scans the mailing
list and extracts patches and keeps track of unapplied ones.

On the linux kernel, the mailing list usually hints at the appropriate
branch ;-)

cheers,
