That could probably be done via git send-email. I think the hardest
thing is working around debbugs. One idea I have is to first create a
branch with a name like <description>-not-submitted, then somehow get the
issue number after sending the first email and then rename the branch to
<description>-<issue-number> and either add a conditional git configuration
rule[1] that sets the sendemail-to to the corresponding address or use
that information from the script. Maybe mumi already does most of this,
I haven't tried it yet (but I probably should).
