I have the exact same requirement, to create a union of CC in patches for
cover-letter. That way sending a series to different people gives them the right
context with cover-letter and individual patch.

Now man git send-email mentions --[no-]cc-cover. I quote

"emails found in Cc: headers in the first patch of the series (typically the
cover letter) are added to the cc list for each email set..."

I certainly want the reverse, but the question is how does one get about getting
an address in cover letter in first place.
