There's no need to have the date field be set to the time the mails
were actually sent though. AFAIR, they get the AUTHOR_DATE now, and
I doubt more than one commit can be authored every second.

Is it really so?  Last time I have used git send-email, they got the
current date. It was in Git 1.5.5, though, so it is possible that it
has changed since then.

send-email does write a new date header. Which is actually desirable,
IMHO, because otherwise rebased patches would get sent with their
original date, which might very well long in the past (and not only is
that confusing, but it would probably trip spam filters).
