 I am not sure if --cc ever made sense to be given to format-patch.  It is
 not a tool to send e-mails, which send-email is.

AFAIK, this option is not in the master branch.

 Isn't --signed-off-by-cc a completely unrelated feature, where it gives
 carbon copies to people who signed off the patch?  Why does the option
 need to read from existing CC: header of the material the command is told
 to send out?

No, it scans Cc: lines (header and body) too and add these to the cc
list (in the body since abec100c3382f7d7b759f915a86e9773277263b6).
