That's not what most of the maintainers expect. For given code, associated mailing list must always be CC-ed, because the list is used for reviewing and testing patches. Example are the Devicetree bindings patches, which are tested iff Devicetree mailing list is CC-ed. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski --- At least one person was arguing with me that CC-ing selective lists for his patch (e.g. skipping list X for code X) is okay, thus let's be more specific here. Changes since v1: 1.
