I think adding a short "dependencies" section in the README (or in an
INSTALL file) saying which Python version works could save new users the
trouble (I see the sheebang inside the scripts says python2 but since I
couldn't use my system's python and called
"path/to/python git_multimail.py", this didn't help). Making the script
portable with python 2 and 3 would be awesome ;-).

For my 2p worth, I don't like seeing hooks called like this.  Particular those 
that come as part of the standard installation.

What do you mean by "like this" ?

I call mine by installing little scripts like this (on Debian):

  #!/bin/sh
  # stored as $GIT_WORK_DIR/.git/hooks/post-receive-email
  exec /bin/sh /usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/post-receive-email

Yes, this is what I was doing (with path/to/python instead of /bin/sh,
and git_multimail.py, or more precisely path/to/git_multimail.py,
instead of post-receive-email).
