I think it was done on purpose, so that the team responsible for the
code being changed would automatically be notified.

I like the intention, though I understand one might find it a bit
heavy-handed: we end up Cc’ing lots of people (and apparently this
hasn’t resulted in an increase of review work, unfortunately).

So I guess I can sympathize with both arguments in favor and arguments
against this behavior.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
