You cannot impose additional manual rules, just because you want your
list to be cc-ed. If you want that list to be cc-ed, you need to improve
the tools, not use excuse they are not good enough and push this task to
contributors.

Contributors for every standard patchset (there are only known 2
exceptions for arm soc development and foo-devel is not one of them)
must only use the tools and not cc phone-devel manually.
