Hi Joe,

I do suggest you instead write wrapper scripts to get
the output you want rather than updating the defaults
for the script and update the process documentation
to let other people know what do to as well.

Something akin to Mario Limonciello's suggestion back in 2022:

FTR, this is more or less what I am using to generate a script
to send out patches:

    OUT=...
    echo git send-email \\ > $OUT
    # Add -cc
    # Wrap comment inside $(: ...)
    # Replace (...) in comment by [...]
    # Replace ] at EOL by ) again
    # Add continuation to EOL
    scripts/get_maintainer.pl $* | \
    tr -d \" | \
    sed -e 's/^/--cc "/' \
        -e 's/ (/" $(: /' \
        -e 's/ (/ [/' -e 's/)/]/' \
        -e 's/]$/)/' \
        -e 's/$/ \\/' | \
    tee -a $OUT
    echo "*[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.*" >> $OUT

After generation, I edit the script to
  - Replace some --cc by --to,
  - Add/remove some people,
and run "source $OUT" to send the patches...
