 FWIW `git am' taking the e-mail containing a change on stdin is I believe 
the most straightforward way, as long as the submission has been properly 
formatted.

 The command automatically sets the author correctly, picking the `From:' 
entry from the e-mail headers or the first line of the e-mail body as 
appropriate, sets the author date from the `Date:' header, picks up the 
contents of the `Subject:' header as the change heading and the body of 
the e-mail sans any `From:' entry as the change description, and strips 
any discussion between the non-commit delimiter (`--') and the patch 
itself.

 The command was designed for maintainers to import changes submitted by 
e-mail so it does what expected.  Any issues with an imported change can 
then be addressed with `git commit --amend', etc.

 HTH,
