Dear Albert,

Actually these Cc will be helpful when using git send-email. It will auto cc to these mailing list when the patch is send out for review (instead entering the names manually every time). Thanks
That is useful to the sender, but useless to anyone else.
This is not correct. It is also an indicatioin who was explicitly addressed when the patch was submitted, so you can later still see from the commit message who was invited to commend and refrained from doing so. This may help a lot in discussions like "but I never had a chance to see this patch".
Please keep these. The are really useful.
I'm glad you weighed in on this. I have done this CC: field many times in patches sent to kernel.org, and have not received any feedbacks to remove it. Some patches can include quite a few entries. So I was kinda surprised to see a comment about it here on the u-boot list.
