I am using the following flow:

$ rm *.patch
$ for format-patch range
$ git send-email [--to resp. --cc for all patches] --cc-cmd ./cc-cmd-only-cover.sh --compose *.patch

$ cat ./cc-cmd-only-cover.sh 
#!/bin/bash

# --compose with generate *gitsendemail.msg file
# --cover-letter expects *cover-letter* file
if [[ $1 == *gitsendemail.msg* || $1 == *cover-letter* ]]; then
        grep '<.*@.*>' -h *.patch | sed 's/^.*: //' | sort | uniq
fi

it is a little bit coarse and it would be great if git had a default
option for that but this seems to be working just fine for patch-bombs
where the recipients only have to care about their parts and the cover
for the overal idea of the change.
