People blindly CCing everyone get_maintainers finds can be a bit of a problem, either they use --git and the false positive rate is quite high or they don't and they miss out relevant people because MAINTAINERS isn't 100% filled in or the reasons for CCing aren't entirely file based. The false positives are a bit of an issue since it discourages people doing smaller cleanups over wide areas, you can end up getting CCed on lots of things you touched which can be a bit offputting. --1wckj8K+SD/hhJpt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVoA3cAAoJECTWi3JdVIfQPY8H/1Rkp9xE/WdLhcGGioReEka1 cqFRQ/Z/a9W2TMy12TvoV7G8W/8UM8AkAJ74bHC/hz0FaR6Pfx2rls3Atun+4EGg cCtsZpePCP+iRhJDga6eaSTCkMW1PlvHV+rrGzURb1GNeeoYWtTV4gOVVtU3Fn6C hszsq3tiU8riZdiAHx7MtLPUP3EyYam5+FUNfvMw7pdYzeKP1ppc5L3avs81vLXM rnvVT/X5O1tMSCnRQViahxLFR6MPEdD7S7ccVgO9eKfSz7YKrFXUon05YRB6OzCw m0xnpQ4h7h7aRgXa0NVHtoAnkebmRhkDp4VfxiStkx3ZahmPXp8sGrpuwPeeH7E= =VuUl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --1wckj8K+SD/hhJpt--
