I don't _mind_ adding such a config (I didn't check the patch text,
though), but one thing I don't understand is what kind of workflow do
people who use format.cc, format.to, --cc and --to are using.

My impression has always been that you drive your _MUA_ to set these
values, and MUAs are either (1) not so cooperating to read these headers
from format-patch output and use them to decide where to send mails from,
or (2) is a git-send-email which is customizable already per repository so
you do not have to do anything funky when running format-patch.

How are you sending your output from format-patch, and how does having To:
and Cc: header pregenerated by format-patch help you?
