If you send patches directly to the maintainer (rather than to a dedicated mailing list), you should put the project name in the subject, so that the maintainer doesn't have to guess which project this is about:

  $ git config format.subjectprefix 'PATCH foobar'

Might as well add additional metadata in headers as well. Anything to make filtering easier.

It's be nice if this could be defaulted to something like the base name of the containing directory, so I could put this setting in ~/.gitconfig

A simple wrapper script or alias around git-send-email could help you out here. The config option has the same effect as passing `--subject-prefix="..."`
