The list should have everything.

Your inbox probably has 1/2 only because 2/2 doesn't touch amd code and
'git send-email' evaluates sendemail.cccmd (pointing to
get_maintainer.pl) for each patch individually.

I've found this behavior confusing at times before. Is there some way
to send the whole series to everybody? Or at least the cover letter?
The git-send-email manpage doesn't give a clue :(

Ok, I'll go that route then.
