Steps to commit patch on TI kernel git tree for pandaboard

Hi All,

I am using below git tree for kernel for pandaboard.
git clone git://dev.omapzoom.org/pub/scm/integration/kernel-ubuntu.git
git checkout -b working origin/ti-ubuntu-3.4-1486

I have done some modifications on this kernel and generated patch. I want to commit it to the pandaboard community. I have followed below steps for generating and commit patch of my modifications. Can you please suggest whether the steps are correct or not. As I have not got any notifications after following the below steps.

$ git commit -a -m "<subject of modifications>"
[working xyz] subject of modifications
 Committer: machine-userid <machine userid>
Your name and email address were configured automatically based
on your username and hostname. Please check that they are accurate.
You can suppress this message by setting them explicitly:

    git config --global user.name "Your Name"
    git config --global user.email you@example.com

After doing this, you may fix the identity used for this commit with:

    git commit --amend --reset-author

 4 files changed, 80 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-)
$ mkdir ../patchToSubmit
$ git format-patch -1 -s --subject-prefix='<subject of modifications>' -o ../patchToSubmit/
../patchToSubmit/0001-<subject of modifications>
$ git config --global user.name "Actual User Name"
$ git config --global user.email <Actual email ID>
$ git commit --amend --reset-author
[working xyz-abc] <subject of modifications>
 4 files changed, 80 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-)

Please let me know if I missed something. Thank you so much in advance.
