You just don't.

If that's their wish I'd say just use the --cc flag; they get to keep
their address hidden from public commit messages, at the expense of (possibly)
being Cc'ed on more emails than they need to. I think it's a
reasonable trade-off.

That said, if they really want to hide their address from others,
you should use --bcc. But then they wouldn't receive the replies.

Isn't Cc'ing riscv-patches an obvious use case for using the --cc flag?
(BTW You can add as many --cc's as you want, and these apply to all patches
in a series.)

PS. As always, remember to use --dry-run =)
