[PATCH] send-email: Add an option to suppress adding a specific email address

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
Date: May 23, 2019, 00:38 UTC
Message-ID: <87d0kaj98f.fsf@xmission.com>

Make it easy to suppress stable@vger.kernel.org. Long story short it is desirable to have ``Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org'' on many bug fixes sent to the linux kernel. It is not always desirable to actually the stable maintainer immediately as the patches are still being reviewed etc. Actually cc'd the stable maintainers in the linux kernel is not even really necessary as they will always find the tag after the patch has been merged in the commit body.

So I am adding yet another suppress command "suppress-addr" that will take an email address keep that email address from being automatically added to a destination the email will be sent to.
