Weird. On my system:

  $ git send-email -1 --to=p...@peff.net --dry-run | grep ^Cc
  Cc: Stable <sta...@vger.kernel.org[4.8+]>

  $ sudo apt-get install libmailtools-perl
  ... apt-get cruft ...

  $ git send-email -1 --to=p...@peff.net --dry-run | grep ^Cc
  Cc: "Stable [4.8+]" <sta...@vger.kernel.org>

I wonder if the version matters (mine is 2.13-1, packaged by Debian).

If you can change the format, I suspect:

  Cc: "Stable: [v4.8+]" <sta...@vger.kernel.org>

will probably yield the most consistent results.
