Sure, I see results and I am guessing the reason. Keeping the list
static is not the approach you should be using, as seen here. It does
not make even sense, because then you need to keep several lists per
different subsystems or you CC unrelated people (don't). Just use simple
wrapper over git send email, b4 or patman.
