I hand't realised you were using the One True Emacs Mail Agent. Of
course it works.

This is missing a ChangeLog style comment. There are various ways to
produce that, the easiest is probably:

C-x v d ; vc-dir
m ; mark the files you want to commit
v ; vc-next-action, which will put you in a commit message buffer
C-c C-w ; this will look through the diffs of the files youʼre
        ; commiting and pre-populate the commit message with
        ; file/function/variable names. You then fill in the details
        ; of what you changed.

Of course, a preamble like you had explaining the 'why' of the change
is also good.

See "** Commit messages" in CONTRIBUTE for a more detailed description
of the desired format for commit messages.

We normally call these 'user options', and donʼt use back-quotes in
NEWS, and try to have the first line be a complete sentence, so:

** Gravatar

===
*** New user-option 'gravatar-service' for host to query for gravatars.
Defaults to Libravatar, with Unicornify and Gravatar as options.

Thanks for your patch.
