OK, next, I shall notice about it: "stop Cc to you and to 'qemu-trivial'
(although for me, I still feel my patch is related with 'qemu-trivial').

For me, can use multiple emails, e.g: one for open mailing list, one for
personal, and one for company wide work.

For me, I guess so (they will receive redundant emails)

For some members (e.g. me), may use one email for open mailing list, but
use another email for apply patch, so Cc to them will let them notice
about soon.

By the way, in honest, as a gmail member, I almost do not check my email
in open mailing list, but always check personal mail which for sending
patches.
