I think Dmitry is asking for the git commands and I'm not sure those
are described anywhere on Worg.

Something like this perhaps:

         # create a topic branch to deal with a specific topic: use
         # a descriptive name!
         git checkout -b topic-branch-foo master
         <make changes specific to topic>
         git commit -a
         git format-patch
         <send out patch in email to appropriate mailing list>
         
Then when the patch hits mainline (or it is irrevocably rejected), get
rid of the branch:

         git branch -D topic-branch
