I am not sure if --cc ever made sense to be given to format-patch.  It is
not a tool to send e-mails, which send-email is.

Isn't --signed-off-by-cc a completely unrelated feature, where it gives
carbon copies to people who signed off the patch?  Why does the option
need to read from existing CC: header of the material the command is told
to send out?
