Perhaps something like
--cover-subject-from-description={true,auto,false}?
Is it still only about "subject"?  I thought one of the improved
behaviour was to populate the subject header with the title
(i.e. the first, often single-line, paragraph) and use the remainder
in the body?  --use-description-in-cover={both,auto,body} meaning
"both subject and body gets filled" (among the three this name is I
am least happy with), "automatically decide---if the first paragraph
is overly big, it is unwise to use it on the subject", "use it only
in body" (implying "use the *** SUBJECT HERE *** placeholder on the
subject header), perhaps?
