    Not clear on the difference between these.

    Why is this called 'policy'?  This seems to be definitions.

    <---> is not a normal name (how do you say it? "dash-dash-dash"?), and
    worse yet might be confused with an option.  `--inspatch cc---` looks
    like there was some sort of mistake.  "Top" would normally mean, "Top of
    the body of the mail".
    
    I think it would be better to call these sections <header>, <commit> and
    "commit message", and <comment> and "reviewer comment section",
    respectively.

    I don't really get this section.
    
    What about having the functionality be something like this?  (Obvious
    this would need some code changes as well.  Also I guessed what the
    significance of the `-- ` is in the cover letter, so correct me if I'm
    wrong.)
    
    ---
    USAGE: $tool [options] (--patchdir | -d) <patchdir>
    
    OPTIONS:
    --------
    
      --reroll-count <n> | -v <n>
        Choose patch files for specific version. This results into the
        following filters on <patchdir>
        0: default - *.patch
        >1: v<n>*.patch
    
      --patchcc (top|commit|comment|none) | -p (top|commit|comment|none)
    
        Insert CC lines into *.patch files in the specified location.
        See LOCATIONS for a definition of the various locations.
    
        The default is `top`.
    
      --covercc (top|end|none) | -c (top|end|none)
    
        Insert CC lines into cover letter in the specified location. See
        LOCATIONS for a definition of the various locations.
    
        The default is `top`.
    
      --tags | -t
    
        In addition to the output of get_maintainer.pl, include email
        addresses from commit tags (e.g., Reviewed-by, Tested-by, &c) in
        the list of CC lines to insert.
    
      --arg <argument> | -a <argument> ...
        Arguments passed on to get_maintainer.pl
        This option can be used multiple times, e.g. -a <a1> -a <a2> ...
    
      --verbose
        Show more output
    
      --help | -h
        Show this help information
    
    LOCATIONS
    ---------
    
      *.patch and cover letters files consist of several sections relevant
       to processing:
    
      <header>:  This is the email header containing email related information
                 It ends with the Subject: line
    
      <commit>: This is the email body that ends up in the commit message.
                 It ends with ---.  CC lines added here will be checked
                 into the git tree on commit.  Only applicable to normal
                 patch files.
    
      <comment>: This is the 'comment for reviewers' section, after the
                 --- but before the diff actually starts. CCs added here
                 are processed by git send-email, but are not checked into
                 the git tree on commit.  Only applicable to normal patch
                 files.
    
      <end>:     The part of a cover letter just before `-- ` (which normally
                 begins a diffstat).  Only applicable to cover letters.
    
    ---

That looks like a good improvement. 
Let me have a go at this with the other comments also
