Oh thanks!  I do not know why I did not found it when using my favorite
search engine. :-)

Well, I still think that examples about how to use it are worth and will
help for adoption. :-)

For instance, this section of the manual [1] describes how to use
git-format-patch and git-send-email with details applied to Guix
examples.  It appears to me better than just pointing [2] and [3]. ;-)

3: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email>

Cheers,
simon
