No, I think the point is, commit message Cc != email message Cc, they
just have the same name.

Similar to, say, Reviewed-by, a commit message Cc may turn into an email
message Cc. But you can't make assumptions about it one way or the
other.

Imagine the commit message Cc was named "Attn:" and handled
appropriately. That probably reflects a lot of commit message Cc usage.
