It would appear that the workflow Andrew uses to queue up patches from you isn't expecting quoted-printable formatting, which is why when Linus gets them, they are mangled.
We would either need to switch Andrew to a set of tools that handle 7bit legacy formats better, or figure out how you can send things via MTAs that won't convert from 8bit to quoted-printable. Maybe you can convince Red Hat to set up their relays to always preserve 8bit?
I'll give it a try, but I think it's rather unlikely ... :)
So, people are looking into. Literally any mail that goes via Mimecast servers (at least sent by me!) is converted *for whatever reason* to quoted-printable.
E.g., patches I punched out today via "git send-email" even have the line continuations thingy again (they disappeared for a while, maybe there are different MTAs involved and it's like playing the lottery)

From what I can tell the mail itself is fine once converted, it's just
nasty that 8-bit is converted *for whatever reason*.
