Yes. vger mailing lists drop emails with large to:/cc:
headers (It was >1024 chars, it may be different now)

It's generally better to add --nogit --nogit-fallback to
get_maintainer to avoid the git lookup addition of people
that have modified files that aren't listed in MAINTAINERS.

You could add a --bcc with those dropped names if you
really want to have those people receive the emails.
