Thanks for the hint and for actually pulling it in!

X-Debbugs-Cc is only useful for initial submission. When reporting a
bug, you do not yet know what number is going to be assigned, so if you
Cc someone, they won't know either. In contrast when using X-Debbugs-Cc,
the submission mail is only copied after the number is assigned and the
message is modified to include the assigned number. In a follow up mail
you directly put the corresponding bug in To or Cc, so other recipients
can look up the number there.
