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.
