The cover letter can not be easily fixed, this is a bug in git send-email.
It should be able to collect all recipients and put them in the cover letter.
I think I already pointed that out a while ago on git-devel...

I think #1 can be fixed by adjusting the MAINTAINERS file.
Not sure why #7 fails to apply.

Running `git am --show-current-patch` reveals a tail that looks like this:

```

+    [EXIT_REASON_NOTIFY]=3D"NOTIFY",
 };
=20

```

This may again be a known issue with `git am` and base64-encoded files: I think `mailsplit` knows how to deal with these sorts of line breaks; and `git am` also knows how to decode base64; but it does them in the wrong order, so base64-encoded mails don't get handled properly.  I reported it to them several years ago [1], and nothing happened.
