The original use-case is also pretty close to just doing the following:
$ git format-patch master..HEAD --cover-letter
$ vi 0000-cover-letter.patch
$ git send-email --to my@mydomain.org *.patch
$ git send-email --to git@vger.kernel.org *.patch
Isn't that just as easy as the proposed --cover-* options?
