Personally, I just feel more socially intimidated when sending email than opening a GitHub pull request. In an email I feel like there's more of an expectation of at least basic pleasantries, whereas on GitHub I feel like I can get away with writing a good, matter-of-fact commit message and just leaving that as the PR message. Of course, most people are not as inhibited as I am…

Would it help if there is a dedicated mail alias for patches? As in <project[email protected]>.
Niceties are off-topic there by definition so you don't have to worry.
Git writes e-mails out of commits: see the "git format-patch" command. You can practically send that straight to the mail command.
