FWIW, there isn't much of a trick to it, all I do is have
	[format]
		headers = "X-Mutt-PGP: OS\n"
in .gitconfig, then (cmdline verbatim for the patch you quoted):
	git format-patch --to='Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com>' --cc='linux-man@vger.kernel.org' --stdout HEAD^ >> ~/mail/mailboxes/Drafts/messages

And just recall it in NeoMutt, the special header enables PGP OppEnc
(I used to just enable it manually for a while with <smime-menu>,
 which works, but got very old very fast).

Copying format-patch into drafts is an explicitly supported
configuration, and has been for decades (cf. git-format-patch(1),
DISCUSSION, 2nd paragraph ‒ active ia64 development dates it,
rest in peace).

@nabijaczleweli.xyz is my local Postfix instance,
but this does also work on GMail (copying the mail from a temporary
mailbox into the drafts is a little iffy, but works);
you're seeing a lot of GMail headers because GMail received it.
