Heh, that was "should not be", but I guess it was probably obvious.
Sorry for the noise.

I am not sure it is very easy yet but as Change-id: ... line are
trailers, you can do that with git interpret-trailers.
For example:
$ echo -e "\nChange-id: stuff\nOther: thing" | git -c
trailer.Change-id.ifexists=replace interpret-trailers --trim-empty
--trailer Change-id=
Other: thing
The idea is that the above command replaces an existing "Change-id:
stuff" trailer with an empty "Change-id:" trailer and then removes all
the empty trailers.
Best,
Christian.

So I have read the man page on the trailers and it seems like the solution
to my problem in removing parts from the commit message.
However I did not find out, if it can be run automatically, whenever
calling format-patch
Maybe all that is missing here is an option
git config format.enable_trailers
?
