Ah, I see. I was asking because I don't recall us getting much batadv
patches CCed to netdev. Maybe it's simply because there wasn't that
many of them to begin with.

If the rate keeps up let's add an X: to MAINTAINERS to avoid
netdev@ being CCed. IDK if that's what X is supposed to be used for
but we use it for wireless and bluetooth already. The PRs still
flow thru networking tree, but there's no need for netdev to be CCed
on 99% of the patch submissions.
