I am CCed in original mail and that's why I got a copy of it in my Inbox.
I am not sure how did Tom receive that mail. If my email id somehow
automatically got stripped, I have no idea how that can happen.

I am trying to look into systemd-devel archives but there does not seem
to be any info who is CCed on the mail.
