The idea has been to first give a standalone text transmonger as a filter for let people to try out, so that we know what kind of changes are useful (e.g. "insert s-o-b at the very end") and make sure the configuration language to specify the changes is easy and expressive enough, which is more or less what we have in 'master'.

Once we gain experience (and that may result in updates to what is in 'master'), in the second phase, we would figure out what code paths can make use of this text transmonger (e.g. your configuration variable "format.trailers" to affect the format-patch code path) and integrate it more tightly to the codebase.

We are not there yet.
