Well, get_maintainers.pl spits out the list of destination email
addresses to send to. It should be easy enough to augment MAINTAINERS
entries with a flag (or different tag type) to say "I'm the maintainer
of this area, but I don't want to be CC'd on the email; just send it to
the list and I'll see it.", and have get_maintainers.pl print out that
information.
