PS. I'm not fussy about Cc. But I generally avoid listing anybody who
will be automatically copied by virtue of any *-by: tags.

I tend to use Cc as an indicator that this entity needs to act upon the
patch in question. Ack, review, test, respond to comments, or merge in
case of stable@.

If a person listed in Cc subsequently responds with a tag, their name
may be listed more than once in the commit description. But I view that
as documentation that the person whose feedback was requested actually
responded. That's useful information as far as I'm concerned...

And nobody asks to remove them! The only outcome of what I see is
beneficial, i.e. cleaning up the commit message. Everything else will
work as expected, e.g., all listed people will be informed as you want
to.

Again, feel free to have a duplicate, but please do it after --- line.
