I'm not sure I understand why a Tested-by: would warrant the removal
of a Cc:.

To me, before I apply a patch to my trees, Cc: means "person got
notified of this patch". A tag means a person reacted to the patch, so
the information that she was notified is superfluous.

In all patches that were Tested-by: a given person, some might Cc: this person, and some might not; now, if you remove Cc: because Tested-by: is present and should be considered an implicit Cc:, then you create the false information that the person would have been Cc: on /all/ patches -- or, conversively, you lose the information of which patch the person was really Cc: of.

IMO, a Tested-by: is the indication that someone tested the patch, and a Cc: is the indication that someone was copy on th patch, and these two are independent. Any simplification based on assumptions such as "a tester was necessarily a Cc" should be performed by ad hoc filtering on the client side, not by altering patches on the patchwork side.
