It's a longstanding habit around here for a couple of reasons:

* The mail list servers are occasionally slow. (Our infrastructure
is way better than it once was, but that still happens sometimes.)
If you directly cc: somebody, they can reply to that copy right away
whether or not they get a copy from the list right away.

* pgsql-hackers is a fire hose. cc'ing people who have shown interest
in the thread is useful because they will get those copies separately
from the list traffic, and so they can follow the thread without
having to dig through all the traffic.
