I do not quite understand. Wouldn't a check-list be useful _before_
you start series of things (I am assuming that you meant a list like
1. run spell check; 2. run checkpatch; 3. run full test suite;
4. format the docs for HTML and manpage)? Time to write cover
letter (or running format-patch in general) is way too late for
many of these things.
There may be a check-list that is still useful after commits to be
sent are perfect and ready to be formatted. "Describe change since
the last round after three-dash line." would be one of them
("Sign-off the patch" is not---without one, the commits would not
have been perfect yet). But for such a check-list, wouldn't we want
remainder not only on the cover but on each individual patch?
Perhaps --add-header="x-reminder: what changed since the last?"
would be sufficient for your purpose instead?
