You can try using l2md:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dborkman/l2md.git
If you don't want to go that route, you can also just do a very blunt
thing like:
mkdir -p maildir/{new,cur,tmp}
for commit in $(git rev-list master); do:
git show $commit:m > maildir/new/$commit
done
mutt -f maildir
-K
