It depends on the Maintainers workflow, but for netdev, a patch series
is imported into a branch, and the cover letter is used for the text
of the merge commit into net-next.
A well written cover letter contains the big picture, what does this
set of patches do, so it has useful information in it, so we want to
have it in the git history.
