[MAINTAINERS SUMMIT] The amount of -stable emails

[Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.com>]

This proposal is coming as a followup to the brief IRC discussion that 
happened a few months back.

The amount of e-mails that are coming (with maintainers directly CCed) as 
a result of patches being merged to -stable is so overwhelming that I am 
not sure that people are making any productive use of it whatsoever.

I am personally pretty much ignoring most of it, as (a) I wouldn't have 
time to do anything else otherwise (b) I don't have a sufficient 
motivation / time to invest effort into stable in the fist place.

I feel it'd be beneficial to discuss this, and (depending on the outcome) 
perhaps make it opt-in (or opt-out) at least, with people/subsystems 
having means how to be excluded from all that ... ?

Thanks,
