As I told you, try to use my script instead, run it as

`ge2maintainer.sh -c 2 -v 2 HEAD~0 --annotate --cover-letter`

(assuming your 2 patches are on the top of the current branch
 in the Git tree of Linux kernel source code).

It will create a template for the cover letter, automatically
applies To and Cc lists based on the MAINTAINERS database and
sends them.
