Yes and 'b4' follows that logic. I think I saw only one case when maintainer relied on actual To/Cc difference, but it was pointed out that it is fragile and there is no unified rule. Regardless, just use b4 to contribute patches because it solves all such process issues. And whenever process is different, we tend to fix/improve b4 to implement it correctly or we should change the process, because in general we should not have rules which cannot be implemented in toolset.
