Please do not trim CC list; at least do not remove git mailing list

I was thinking more about caching credentials by git rather than forcing
to use single connection.  Additionally you are solving the problem for
the HTTP(S) transport; admittedly for SSH there is much better solution
of using public/private keys, instead of asking for password.

What about public/private keys that also have a password?  Isn't that  
the most recommended way to use ssh?

You use ssh-agent for that (via "ssh-add <private key>"), perhaps with
wrapper around it for example keychain. The "caching" is done by SSH,
no need to duplicate this in git.
