Both! :)

Ideally you'll go over the individual emails for each patch that hasn't
been committed yet and reply whether you agree or not with my
observations. I might have misinterpreted the goal of a patch or set
constraints that are unrealistic. So lets first make sure we agree on
the specific issue we are going to fix.


For the mechanics it depends a bit on being familiar with git and using
it for using email to sent out patches. I like this:
https://git-send-email.io/

But that is sometimes not the easiest to setup. In which case I would
recommend creating an account on sourcehut https://meta.sr.ht/register
and create a clone of elfutils there:
https://git.sr.ht/~sourceware/elfutils

You can push your commits on a branch on sr.ht and then you can use
"Prepare a patchset" to sent emails to the list (or anyone else) from
that server, so you don't need to setup git+email yourself locally.
