But would you also have the same attitude towards these specific
'spams' if it were made clear in the email adress field that you were
cc'd as a commit_signer  (vs maintainer)?

I know it is a bit hackisch to have stuff in the name field, but it is
rfc conform, it is even proposed for redirected email '(by way of...)'.
