Thanks. Indeed, I only learned about this yesterday. Ran it before v3.
Was super easy. Sharing for anyone else new to this:

git format-patch -1
mkdir /tmp/patches
mv 000* /tmp/patches

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/linux-netdev/nipa.git
cd nipa

./ingest_mdir.py --mdir /tmp/patches --tree ~/src/kernel/netdev/nn -t patch/check_selftest

--- output

Saving output and logs to: /tmp/tmp7zb9n8ka
Tree name unknown
