Here is the list of notable improvements:

I've picked up pieces that I think cannot possibly be controversial to
reduce the size of the remaining patch series still in flight.

Michael Witten (6):
      Docs: send-email: Put options back into alphabetical order
      Docs: send-email: Refer to CONFIGURATION section for sendemail.multiedit
      Docs: send-email: --smtp-server-port can take symbolic ports
      send-email: Handle "GIT:" rather than "GIT: " during --compose
      send-email: 'References:' should only reference what is sent
      send-email: Remove superfluous `my $editor = ...'

I've reworded the description in "symbolic port names" one a bit.

It is unfortunate that the interesting ones begin at 10th in the series,
which are beind the 9th one that is a "churn in the middle".

Thanks.

The general rule of thumb is to do such a clean-up before you start to work on something of substance.

a good rule of thumb when preparing a series is to have this kind of obvious clean-up first, leaving enhancement patches later in the series.

I guess, then, this whitespace patch is something of substance---an
enhancement ;-D

... or unnecessary "code churn"... I suppose.
