No. We do want to keep the Acked-by's on the cc.
But you missed the real problem.
It *didn't* cc the acked-by. Look closer. What happened was that it cc'd this:
"Acked-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.du...@intel.com>, David S. Miller"
<da...@davemloft.net>
ie there is only _one_ email address (that of da...@davemloft.net),
and the whole "Acked-by: Alexander Duyck <...>" part is quoted as the
_name_ of that email address.
At least that's what the headers look like for me in the original report:
From: kernel test robot <xiaolong...@intel.com>
To: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>
Cc: l...@01.org, Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>,
LKML <linux-ker...@vger.kernel.org>, Alexei Starovoitov
<a...@kernel.org>, Willem de Bruijn <will...@google.com>, "Acked-by:
Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.du...@intel.com>, David S. Miller"
<da...@davemloft.net>
Notice the quoting of that last "name".
