This is one of the reasons I never use git format-patch directly, but I
use a tool on top: git send-series[1].

It would be nice if git format-patch grabbed the text of the body from
somewhere, and even better if git branch learned --edit-cover-letter.

None of this invalidates the usefulness of your patches, of course.

Cheers.
