I've done the equivalent of running this script,
which has a few corrections to the procedure in git.txt.

---------------------------
#!/bin/sh

ME=`basename "$0"`
warn() { printf '%s: %s\n' "$ME" "$*" >&2; }
die() { warn "$*"; exit 1; }

case $# in
  0) die missing project name;;
  1) ;;
  *) die too many arguments;;
esac

project=$1
export GIT_DIR=/srv/git/$project.git

test -d $GIT_DIR || die "no such dir: $GIT_DIR"

chattr -i $GIT_DIR/hooks

mkdir -m 755 $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive.d
ln -s /usr/src/git/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email \
  $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive.d/
git config hooks.showrev \
 "t=%s; echo http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/$project.git/commit/?id=\$t; echo; 
echo; git show -C \$t; echo"
git config hooks.mailinglist address@hidden

cat <<'EOF' > $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive
#!/bin/bash
exec run-parts hooks/post-receive.d
EOF
chmod 755 $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive

chattr +i $GIT_DIR/hooks
---------------------------

Then I realized that gawk's list has a non-conforming name,
(normally it's $project-commit; Arnold requested gawk-diffs)
so I manually did this to accommodate:

  git config hooks.mailinglist address@hidden

So the above script probably needed a new, optional parameter
by which to specify a non-default commit mailing list address.
Here's the still-untested script:

-----------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

ME=`basename "$0"`
warn() { printf '%s: %s\n' "$ME" "$*" >&2; }
die() { warn "$*"; exit 1; }

case $# in
  0) warn "Usage: $ME project [commit-email-addr]"; die missing project name;;
  1) project=$1; address@hidden;;
  2) project=$1; commit_list_address=$2;;
  *) die too many arguments;;
esac

case $commit_list_address in
  address@hidden) ;;
  address@hidden) ;;
  *) die "invalid email address $commit_list_address";;
esac

export GIT_DIR=/srv/git/$project.git

test -d $GIT_DIR || die "no such dir: $GIT_DIR"

chattr -i $GIT_DIR/hooks

mkdir -m 755 $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive.d
ln -s /usr/src/git/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email \
  $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive.d/
git config hooks.showrev \
 "t=%s; echo http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/$project.git/commit/?id=\$t; echo; 
echo; git show -C \$t; echo"
git config hooks.mailinglist $commit_list_address

cat <<'EOF' > $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive
#!/bin/bash
exec run-parts hooks/post-receive.d
EOF
chmod 755 $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive

chattr +i $GIT_DIR/hooks
