Sending in patches

Hi,

so in recent times we had many people who have struggled with sending in patches. The topic comes up every few weeks and I am not aware why that is. I find this process with "git send-email" very easy and I am not sure where the problems could be.

So I would like to start a discussion about where the problems are and maybe that some of you can share their experiences and solutions. What tools are you using? Do they need special settings?

The goal of that should be that we can add all the required information to the documentation. Sending in patches should not be this frustration experience it is at the moment.
