Not really.
At a minimum you need to add "--norolestats" to the cc-cmd invocation

	--cc-cmd="./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --norolestats"

I use scripts to do this along with .gitconfig entries.

[sendemail]
	chainreplyto = false
	thread = false
	suppresscc = self
	cccmd = ~/bin/cc.sh
	tocmd = ~/bin/to.sh

The scripts use --to-cmd to address the direct maintainers
and cc-cmd to address indirect maintainers and mailing lists.

$ cat ~/bin/to.sh
#!/bin/bash

opts="--nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --pattern-depth=1"

if [[ $(basename $1) =~ ^0000- ]] ; then
    ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nom $opts  $(dirname $1)/*
else
    maint=$(./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nol $opts $1)
    if [ "$maint" == "" ] ; then
	echo "linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    else
	echo "$maint"
    fi
fi

$ cat ~/bin/cc.sh
#!/bin/bash

opts="--nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats"

if [[ $(basename $1) =~ ^0000- ]] ; then
    ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nom $opts  $(dirname $1)/*
else
    ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl $opts $1
fi
