It depends what your patches are for. If you're working on a specific
subsystem, it might also suffice sending the patches to the appropriate
mailing list for that subsystem.

Just make sure to always Cc: the maintainers of the bits you're patching,
and check the file MAINTAINERS in your Linux tree. Also read up
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for general information.

Nothing's wrong with git. It's just that sending patches to a mailing list makes
it easier for people to comment on them.
