This will apply it on top of the current HEAD:

This will fetch it into FETCH_HEAD, making it behave pretty identical to a
pull request:

    b4 shazam -H https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250919010911.649831-1-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net (local)

I just didn't know about b4, and this is probably the tool I was looking for.
Basically what I was doing was `git apply` patch-by-patch manually (with
a little scripting), but b4 seems the right tool for the job.

Hope this helps,

Yes, a lot! Thanks.
