Thanks. Then I misinterpreted what --cc-cover actually means. All Cc:
lines have to be present in the cover letter already. Would be nice if
git would run a command like this to put the list into the coverletter:

 # git log --format=%b $base..$head | grep -iw ^cc: | sort -u

In the meantime I will remember to do that step manually.
