Sadly, people that don't run get_maintainer.pl, leave alone running it
with --noremove-duplicates option. So your suggestion doesn't really
help me.

My preference is to get patches to both Inboxes if possible which isn't
possible unless -noremove-duplicate is default. Having this option as
default probably will annoy lot of people . So I am not asking for
that.

That being said, I don't understand your comment. Are you recommending
using just one email in these entries?

thanks,
