What're the errors that you're seeing? Also, are you using the latest
version? An upgrade to bugzilla a while back caused some strange
behaviour and required an update to git-bz to work.

The main conduit for patches is bugzilla, however posting them to the
patches list allows anyone subscribed to that to see what's going on. As
a bit of a guideline, I'll post initial patches for things there, but
don't bother with updated versions or sign-offs. But what you choose to
do is up to you really.

As for why it's not sending, you'll probably have to have a look through
your computer's configuration to figure it out. Is it set up to send
email properly, for example? Is there diagnostic information in the logs?

Robin.
