The command line you quoted shows the relevant information for people who want to know what happened in that merge.

Namely:
 * it always shows the header and the message
 * it shows the changes that are not trivial (i.e. merge parents
   have overlapping different versions and manual resolution
   resulted in something different from either parents).

It is not a replacement for format-patch, but I think the commit mailing list is not for machines to receive and apply the received patches, but for humans to inspect, so it would be more suitable than a naive alternative of showing diff from all parents concatenated together.
