I don't actually care all that much what you do, to be honest: I have
far too many other things to care about. You did ask, though. I'd be
happy for you to default to not cc'ing people on Debian lists unless
explicitly requested, as you did with the message I'm replying to.

Please go and read the many, many rants that have been written on this

sufficiently rich model for mailing lists. The solutions people advocate
for fixing this vary.
