@brauner thanks for writing that up! Have you visited b4.docs.kernel.org before trying things out? Many of your questions are really answered there (e.g. you use the cover letter to add To: and Cc: addressees, as well as use --auto-to-cc to populate it).

@brauner no worries. Please let me know if some of the things are more clear after you read those docs.

@ljs @brauner the contributor features are still considered experimental (I'm still fixing corner-case bugs), but many people find it suitable for day-to-day work.

@brauner maybe, but not until git-filter-repo is able to preserve notes (remember, we found out that it currently can't).

@brauner you should use "b4 send --hide-cover-to-cc" then. ;) You can make that permanent with b4.send-hide-cover-to-cc.

@brauner I think it already does that, no? Any addresses we find in individual patches and not in the cover letter list will only get the cover letter plus that patch, not the whole series.

@brauner Yes, b4 doesn't yet do multi-series. I want to get simple cases right first, and then we can start playing with series dependencies.
