Really? I used them for a previous version of my patch, but Jon (who 
didn't use that params) complained about too many people not being CCed.

As Jon now applied (whatever branch on...) my patch, I assume that not 
using those params is better.

After all not using them doesn't enlarge the set of recipients per patch 
(of mine), but reduces patch size as I group changed files per set of 
recipients.
