Oh, sure, that was just an example because I was too lazy to construct a
command that would send me your ssh keys :)

Yes, my main point really was that I personally would find it super-nice
to just mark particular branches in my kernel.org repositories as "send

would automatically receive nice notification once commit appears there.
Without any need of wrapping simple git-am + git push with more and more
bloated scripting.
