Indeed, thanks for catching this.

Is there a recommended way for managing these not-for-commit-message
chunks automatically ?
I obviously compose them by hand so far, and put them in my local git
working copy commit messages, but I would be happier if I did not have
to make (bad) decisions on such mechanical detail.

On a related topic, is there a way to automate "git send-email"
recipient list using get_maintainer.pl (plus some more magic lines,
for example to exclude bouncing addresses) ?

While process/submitting-patches.rst describes what the result should
look like, it feels to me that it (or another related file) could be
more directive on what commands/workflows help to get such result, for
casual contributors like myself. Have I missed such documentation ?
