You can (manually) add "Cc: name <address>" lines to the individual
files created by "git format-patch", which will be used by
"git send-email".
I guess this can also be done to the mbox saved by "quilt mail --mbox"?

Alternatively, if you have format.thread in your git config, the saved
files will already have their final Message-IDs, so you can add to
all individual patches a lore link pointing to the cover letter.
