We could perhaps go with a whitelist approach. The four
main match I would be tempted to add are: Acked-by, Reported-by,
Reviewed-by, and Tested-by.
My workflow is to initially CC a bunch of relevant maintainers
when sending out a patch, and as the Acked, Reviewed and Tested
by tags come it, I replace those CC with the relevant tag.
I never expected them to stop being CC'd when switching between
those categories.
Thanks,
Mathieu
