I know this isn't ideal and I'm sorry for the confusion, extra work and
churn. As far as I know sadly it's not possible to Cc everyone for such
treewide series because the recipient list will hit the limits
supported by some systems and mails get dropped which sucks even more.
Maybe this can be solved in the future though, Konstantin Ryabitsev
actually reached out because I mentioned that I tried using b4 prep /
b4 send but couldn't exactly because it only supports a global
recipient list.

Thanks,
Niklas
