Indeed (CC'd).

I thought about not using whitespace in the generated output, but I'm
not sure if Debbugs or email clients in general would care, plus it's a
dirty fix.

With the recent patman integration merged (though do apply #60576 as a
fixup commit), I'm tempted to remove the mentions of git send-email
$(etc/teams.scm cc-members ...) and replace that by 'Further automation
of git send-email and etc/teams.scm is possible via the patman package'.

What do you think?
