I suspect this might be the case for all the other reviewers as well -
that they also would appreciate context for the specific patch they are
being added to review.

I wasn't entirely sure what the convention was, so I applied your

patchset? I fully agree that such a large CC list does look really
ungainly.

Thank you.
