I gave up on lkml after searching lore became reliable
several years ago.
What might be useful is something on lore/vger to be
able to match keyword searches similar to a finger like
registry and get forwarded threads that match.
Another possibility might be:
MAINTAINERS/get_maintainers is public and requires
senders generating the correct mailto: entries.
Maybe undo that and make lore/vger create all the
to/cc entries using a single kernel mailing address.
And if the received email by lore/vger already
has the suggested entries, don't duplicate it.
