I've been using the sendemail.cc config as well, but unfortunately it is not used by stgit. If you use stgit to send patches you'll have to copy /usr/share/stgit/templates/patchmail.tmpl to ~/.stgit and add a 'CC: patches@linaro.org' line to it.
I guess we should add these two tips to one of the pages under https://wiki.linaro.org/Mentoring/Git/. Any suggestions?
Cheers,

Hi,
We're required to cc patches@linaro.org for all patches that we send upstream. bzr/launchpad users are already covered or will be shortly.
For those using git-send-email to send patches (and you really should be), it might make sense to use the following command so you don't forget
$ git config --global --add sendemail.bcc "patches@linaro.org"
Check $HOME/.gitconfig to make sure you see "bcc = patches@linaro.org" under the [sendemail] section. WARNING - this will bcc patches@linaro.org on all patches from that machine sent using git-send-email.
If you want more control, and your linaro work happens in a single git tree, you could do the following:
$ cd <your linaro git tree> $ git config --add sendemail.bcc "patches@linaro.org"
Check <your linaro git tree>/.git/config for the bcc entry as above. Now patches send from that tree will be bcc'ed to patches@linaro.
/Amit p.s. There is also a sendemail.cc instead of sendemail.bcc in case you want to use that.
