You can create an mbox of all of the changes you made. Unfortunately
git-rev-list doesn't do author/committer matching, so you'll need a
short perl script:

-- >8 --
$ cat >match-who.pl <<'EOF'
#!/usr/bin/perl

my $name = shift;
my $match = qr/$name/i;

my $commit;
while(<>) {
  chomp;
  next unless $_;
  next if /^\s/;
  my ($k, $v) = split / /, $_, 2;
  if($k eq 'commit') {
    $commit = $v;
  }
  if($commit && ($k eq 'author' || $k eq 'committer') && $v =~ $match) {
    print "$commit\n";
    $commit = undef;
  }
}
-- >8 --

Then you should be able to do:
$ git-rev-list --pretty=raw master |
  perl match-who.pl kai.blin@gmail.com |
  git-diff-tree -p --stdin --pretty=email \
  > my-patches

You can either look through that, or you can try applying the patches
with git-am (though if your patches depend on changes not by you that
happened in the intervening time, you'll probably have some rejects).
