I think only Rob uses DT list entirely. I use both - DT list and being
directly CC-ed on emails, and I think Conor relies on being Cc-ed
directly. IOW, just cc all maintainers + DT list. Unless you touch
multiple subsystems, there is rarely a point to strip get_maintainers.pl
output from maintainers/reviewers/submitters. Do not confuse in skipping
non-maintainers pointed by Git-fallback (not applicable to b4, I think),
because these should be used carefully.
