Yeah, that's a reasonable assumption, but I find that maintainers often
process merge requests way more quickly and easily as they just need one
click to merge. :)

I think the simplest solution is not to rewrite the launcher, but to
rename it. So in debian/rules, you would simply do:
override_dh_auto_install:
dh_auto_install
mv debian/git-multimail/usr/bin/git_multimail.py debian/git-multimail/usr/bin/git-multimail
Also, get rid of the noop sections like:
override_dh_installdocs:
dh_installdocs
Cheers!
