The post-receive-email script is run from post-receive as follows:
  postrecmail="$PWD/hooks/post-receive-email"
  export envelopesender="$GL_USER"

  # Send summary mail to gnucash-changes
  export recipients="$(git config hooks.mailinglist1)"
  export custom_showrev="$(git config hooks.showrev1)"
  echo -e "$revs" | "$postrecmail" -x

  # Send full patches to gnucash-patches
  export recipients="$(git config hooks.mailinglist2)"
  export custom_showrev="$(git config hooks.showrev2)"
  echo -e "$revs" | "$postrecmail" -x

What are the contents [hooks] block in the gnucash-htdocs bare repo's config?

IIRC the comments are reversed -- that full patches are supposed to 
go to gnucash-changes and summaries to gnucash-patches, but that doesn't
have anything to do with what's actually going on.
