A patch with number 0/X (where X is any number) is called a "cover
letter" and is supposed to explain the purpose of the patch series it
is part of. Usually a cover letter is not useful for a single patch
long patch series (when X is 1), as the commit message of the patch
should be enough.
Also things like "*** BLURB HERE ***" (including the stars) are
supposed to be replaced by a subject or some comments to explain
things.

Okay I understand it better now ,can I do anything about it? Or should
I leave it as is?.
It's my first time using the "git patch" and "git send-email"
commands, so it was a real struggle understanding the proper way to
get things setup.

I think you should send a version 2 of the patch (so without a cover
letter) taking into account the comments I made about it. You might
want to wait a bit before sending version 2 though, so that others
might have time to read your patch and give you more feedback about
it.

Yeah, it's not easy to set things up, but once that's done it should
be much easier. To make things even easier, you could perhaps save
somewhere the commands that you have previously used. And to improve
or make changes to those commands, you could take a look at the
documentation for `git format-patch` and `git send-email` which have a
number of interesting options, and take note of those interesting
options.

Okay then, I'd wait for additional feedback and send in a Version 2
later. Thank you
