  Gmail's web interface doesn't handle them well, yes! That is why i
started using evolution with gmail imap. Now I just select the
messages, save to inbox and then do `git am` on them. Merging patches
from bugzilla won't be that difficult either but sending the patches
to bugzilla *is* harder[1] than using `git send-email`. So I would
prefer patches on the list rather. Also email is nice for have a
discussion over the patches, similar to the comment system of
gitorious.

heard for many others either).
