Apparently, #GitLab now supports sending patches by email instead of having to navigate the wizard on the UI[1]. The downside is that they expect patches in email attachments, so no existing tools work because they have a bit of a snowflake implementation.

The whole point of "patches via email" is that it is a transport with a well-defined format for the payload. Using the same transport with a different payload negates all interoperability.
