Actually, that's the one place where anyone not on the list would
request carbon copies. (But it still shouldn't be the default.)

Because people who are subscribed to the list don't require extra
copies of mails. [And since anyone who wants a copy can request it
using MFT: or manually, it's perfectly fine.]

http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct is linked from the
introduction, which is on the page where you learn what lists we have
and how to subscribe to them. Someone who doesn't bother to read that
won't bother to read the links posted at the bottom of a mail.
