If I send a modest cross-subsystem series it often touches 20+
subsystems.  Between mailing lists and maintainers that's usually
already 60+ recipients.  If you now add a another 2-3 maintainers
we're just going to hit limits in mail servers.

Works with your maintainers to have useful lists for their subsystems.
