Good ;-).  More valuable to detect would be an empty "blurb" section
(i.e. not "unedited *** BLURB HERE ***" string, but literally, there is
nothing said in the message other than the shortstat).

One twist is that I am reasonably sure that somebody will soon fix the
shortstat part of the cover letter with something more reasonable
(i.e. not categorized by author, but instead retaining the order of
patches, and for an added bonus, append names of authors other than
yourself at the end of the line in parentheses, or something).
