And it can't even be the right thing to do, when experienced
developers don't do it.
I explained to you already that Florian's posting is a PR.
.. and your point is?

The fact is, experienced developers don't add cc'd when they commit
their own patches, and nobody bats an eye on it.

So you are *literally* saying that inexperienced people should do this
pointless thing that can be - and is - automated, even though it's
clearly not the thing that is required in general.

And you're saying that I should have to change my workflow to make it
MORE INCONVENIENT to do the thing that you claim inexperienced people
do now.

Yup. We're done here.
