Well, yes; consider the developer's reference as a documented set of
*practices*. I try to make sure that all of my information is
corraborated by the relevant operational authority, i.e., Guy Maor for
Debian archive issues, James Troup and the new maintainer team for new
maintainer issues, etc.

Hmm, well if you really feel strongly, I can take it out. Please file
a bug to that effect.
I personally don't like being CC'd. I don't use procmail so filtering
out duplicates isn't trivial for me. Most don't like CC's.
