http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml mentions it is about support
too, and people that are here to be supported don't necessarily want to
follow the discussion that comes along as well; thus unsubscribe
before an answer or not subscribe at all in the first place, they then
instead rely on receiving a mail regardless of that.

CC-ing ensures that the minutes spent on the answer make it reach the
person; relying on that they are (still) subscribed, I can waste time.

See the most recent mail I sent before this for details.
