A few minor suggestions:

* Insert a link for the text "Software Release Practice HOWTO"
  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Release-Practice-HOWTO/
* s/If you're made/If you've made/
* s/and you'll get/and you get/
* Also replace:
    git format patch commit-sha1(-prefix)
  by
    git format patch <commit-sha1(-prefix)>
* s/to To: field/into To: field/

I also suggest that you insert at the beginning a simple use case:

    # Please commit clean changes (see details in section "Committing")
    $ git commit
      | One line descr
      |
      | Long descr

    # Check which commits to send
    $ git log

    # Prepare patches after 1f77...
    $ git format patch 1f727c65ed864c4cdbb43456b5c8f130f69a193d

    # Send to mailing list (test)
    $ send-email --dry-run --compose 00*.patch

    # Send to mailing list
    $ send-email --compose 00*.patch
