Hi Stefan, I just wanted to kindly mention that having a cover letter is noted
as a requirement in our documentation [1].
Please let me know if this rule doesn't apply in this case, or you think
we should lift this requirement, I can help update the docs. :)

Also nit: The subject should be [SRU][...].

Thanks
