I've heard that some maintainers are moving away from cover letters,
since they are not include in the git repo and are lost.

If I get a patch series with a cover letter that should be preserved, I
apply the series in a branch then do a no-ff merge; the cover letter can
then go into the merge commit.  There's no reason why cover letters need to
be lost.

That is an awesome idea. I'll start using this approach. Thank you.
