[PATCH v5 1/1] ty: Allow users to specify whether thank-yous are sent to themselves

[PATCH v5 1/1] ty: Allow users to specify whether thank-yous are sent to themselves

[Lee Jones]

The motivation behind this change was that thank-yous weren't showing up
in maintainer's inboxes.  This is a problem because some of us the
presence of these mails to indicate that particular sets or individual
patches have been applied or not.

Provide command line option '--me-too' to override the default
behaviour.  If this is not specified, there are no functional changes.

Closes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217672

v4 -> v5: Actually test the conflict resolutions and repair the obvious breakage!  *hangs head in shame*
v3 -> v4: Rebase and fix conflicts - no functional changes intended
