I’m still doing some tweaks, but it’s mostly fantastic! I’m so happy to be able to get diffs by email! Thank you, @jeremy, for supporting this idea.

Make sure you use a descent email client, surely don’t read it on google groups or gmail, you need to have a client that can properly render fixed fonts and not use a variable fonts which look horrible with diffs. But google doesn’t need to respect the fact that the email says:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
why would it care about this or many other things…
I use thunderbird on linux and it works great!
Note, chances are that your email client may start putting those into the spam folder, so make sure you tell it it’s ham!
I haven’t finalized the best subject prefix yet, but use the List-ID to filter this stream into its own folder:

If you encounter any problems please let me know.
p.s. the only potential problem is that we have 100/day email limit with the free smtp relay (sendgrid), so if there are a lot of commits we might not get to see them all. If you know of a free reliable smtp server with bigger quota please pm me. (Sendinblue.com w/ 300/day is not good because they mess up the emails with tracking and forced broken conversion to html)
