I'm obviously not an expert in cover letters, but in my view, cover 
letter is only necessary whenever there is a complex patchset that 
requires some explanation, background, etc. If there is only one patch, 
everything that you could reasonably put in the cover letter should go 
either into the commit message itself, or into commit notes if there is 
some supplemental data (e.g. benchmark results etc.). Creating cover 
letters for single patches is just unnecessary work IMO.
