I've sent a couple of other patches to git-send-email.

Any comments or plans to ack/nack those?

Sorry, but I am not personally interested in send-email enough to go to
marc.info archive that does not give me the message in ready-to-apply
format with "git am". 


On-list discussion is the most important signal I use to convince myself
that the issues that discussed patches attempt to tackle are worth
addressing. When I do not see any discussion, I myself may decide that
they are important, or I may not.

Re-sending them might get others with similar needs for the patches
involved in the discussion.

Here are what _I_ think about the above two.

 - I've seen enough complaints that send-email sends too many Cc:s to
   unintended parties, and of an opinion that these extra recipients should
   be added to the files you feed to send-email as headers, instead of adding
   noise to commit log messages, so adding new Cc sources and then giving a
   way to suppress them didn't look like a good change to me.

 - I think I saw a few positive responses to the "editor cruft" patch, but
   the way the patch was implemented, it will invite low-value "my obscure
   editor uses this pattern, so add it" follow-up patches, and compared to
   that downside, I didn't like the benefit of the patch well enough to pick
   it up.
