Oh, I had thought the changes were already in the notmuch tree. Now I
understand what you're saying, and yes, it makes sense.
In general, supplying a log message with the patch with avoid such
confusion. If there is some prose expressing what the change is
supposed to to, and giving any historical context (such as the mailing
list thread starting from last year), then it will be easy for any
reviewer to understand what the patch is intended to do, and check if it
actually does that.
Best,
