Sorry if this is dumb question, but I didn't see any good info in my searches.

How do gmail users normally apply patches that come through the list?

It doesn't rely on your address mail provider but on your local email
workflow/MUA.

Do you just manually copy and paste the email to patch files and use
git apply? Do you use a tool to export to mbox files and use git am?

Yes, that's what most users do. As I use local maildirs instead of
mailboxes, I copy the patches (from mutt) into a dedicated maildir (one
per project) and directly 'git am' the e-mails.
