Ahah - finally got the point, although I wondered about whether a cover could be 
added as a note to the patches, and found that since early 2022 git 2.35+ allows

	$ git ... am --empty=keep --allow-empty ...

to create an empty commit, with the contents of the e-mail message as its log.
As we are on 2.39 you may already know this and prefer to keep the log clear. YMMV
Emailed v4.
