As others have mentioned, I think the proper solution is to use a global
gitignore for your user. I have one to ignore cscope and ctags files and
vim swap files, for example.

I'll give feedback for your actual patch submission too, then.

Good!

This, not so good. I'm not sure if you meant format-patch instead of
send-email, but after you generate the patch/email file with
git format-patch, you can edit that directly, and then you should send
that using git send-email. gmail is notorious for brutally murdering
patches (not to mention html patches won't be accepted).

I used to do that too, but you don't have to add [libcamera-devel], the
mailing list will add it automatically. It won't show up on the copy
that's CC-ed to you, which confused me too in the beginning :)

Last thing, these comments don't belong here. This is called the
changelog, and is where you explain your patch; the motivations, the
issues, the solution, etc. Comments like these that are questions or
personal comments that you don't want to be committed into the git
history forever belong after --- (where I marked <1>).

I look forward to your next contribution :)
