Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] Documentation: process: Avoid unneeded Cc: tags
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2024 16:19:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240423132024.2368662-2-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240423132024.2368662-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

Add a note that explains that  Cc: email header is implied by other
tags, such as Reviewed-by:. In this case an explicit Cc: is _not_
needed.
