This is not actually how it happens. cover=`echo *` expands the * before
the assignment to $cover, while cover="*" assigns a litteral * to
$cover.

Then, when you use $cover, the variable is expanded to * and then it is
expanded to filenames here:

>  	mv $cover cover-to-edit.patch &&

On the other hand, this instance of $cover is quoted, hence the
*-expansion won't happen:

>  	perl -pe "s/^From:/$header: extra\@address.com\nFrom:/" cover-to-edit.patch >"$cover" &&

So, I believe this patch is not correct.

OTOH, patches 1 to 9 look good to me.
