It looks like there is some misunderstanding here. I think Marijn
doesn't question his R-B (which was present), but tries to point out
that Kuogee might want to adjust his git-send-email invocation. By
default (and that's a good practice, which we should follow),
git-send-email will CC people mentioned in such tags. Marijn didn't
get this email. So, it seems, for some reason this Cc: _mail_ header
was suppressed. Probably git-send-email invocation should be changed
to prevent suppression of adding mentioned people to CC lists.
