Also, it would be really nice if you could send patches as
Doc/net/netdev-FAQ.txt suggests, as lots of us have scripts that parse the
subject to find out which tree to apply/test the patches.

It's also easier than using git notes edit/git send-email --notes :).

Q: How do I indicate which tree (net vs. net-next) my patch should be in?

A: Firstly, think whether you have a bug fix or new "next-like" content.
  Then once decided, assuming that you use git, use the prefix flag, i.e.

       git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH net-next' start..finish

  Use "net" instead of "net-next" (always lower case) in the above for
  bug-fix net content.  If you don't use git, then note the only magic in
  the above is just the subject text of the outgoing e-mail, and you can
  manually change it yourself with whatever MUA you are comfortable with.
