WARNING! It's not longer necessary to send patches to the mailing list. Please upload them to Bugzilla instead.
See: Git bz configuration

With the recent move of the Koha mailing lists to http://lists.koha-community.org/, the full email address for submitting a patch is now koha-patches@lists.koha-community.org. Since that’s a bit long to type every time you submit a patch, here’s one way to save a few keystrokes.

First, create a text file file to define a short alias for the email address. I chose to call the file ~/.git_aliases. The file should contain a line like this:

 alias kpatches koha-patches@lists.koha-community.org

Next, tell Git that you want to use this address book file:

 $ git config --global sendemail.aliasesfile ~/.git_aliases
 $ git config --global sendemail.aliasfiletype mutt

Now, all you have to do is use kpatches in place of the full address. For example:

 $ git send-email 0001-bug-4801-fix-paging-in-display-of-staged-bibs-and-im.patch
 
 Who should the emails appear to be from? [Galen Charlton ]
 
 Who should the emails be sent to? kpatches

or

 $ git send-email -to kpatches 0001-bug-4801-fix-paging-in-display-of-staged-bibs-and-im.patch
