That sounds like a good approach.

Only if the MUA can recognise the patch and pipe it into a git am
process. But if we are trying to re-create the behaviour of "git
send-email" (as I think is necessary if we want the feature to be of use
outside of Emacs circles, such as sending a patch to the Linux Kernel
Mailing List), then we need to consider people using clients like Mutt
or Aerc (https://aerc-mail.org/) that just pipe the entire message
through "git am".

Of course, the idea that was proposed on emacs-devel was to have this
behaviour be controlled by a (file-local) variable that could be set on
a per-project basis.
