I think git send-email on the command line does the right thing.

For a single patch, I just git send-email --to=guix-patches@gnu.org
HEAD^

For a series of patches, it's more drawn out. First I run git
format-patch --cover-letter ... then copy the cover letter in to an
email, and then send to guix-patches@gnu.org. Then I wait for the
reply, and then git send-email --to=NUMBER@debbugs.gnu.org
--in-reply-to=MESSAGE ID FROM THE FIRST EMAIL.

I'm not sure if the --in-reply-to bit is useful.

I do use mu4e and magit myself, but I'm not sure I know a way of sending
patches more quickly or more easily than this.
