For bonus points, the --subject-prefix option to git format-patch can
be used to change the prefix from [PATCH] to [Change Request]:

git format-patch --subject-prefix='Change Request' ... | git send-email

(An alias in git could make this quite convenient.)

Commentary could be added between the --- and the diffstat, as is
common on the git and kernel lists for patches.
