As Taylor created the above suggestion as a counter-proposal, I can
see that I apparently did not express what I meant very well, when I
said:
Is there a point in the end-user experience flow, starting at
the time when they push their proposed change to their
repository, throw a pull request at GitHub, say "/submit", and
then GGG finally sends out a patch e-mail, where the GGG
machinery can inspect the change and give the user (preferrably
before the user says /submit) a hint that says "you may want to
add Cc: to these people in such and such case, and if you think
the situation falls into these cases, tell me so by saying
/submit-with-suggested-cc instead of the usual /submit"?
What Taylor suggested, and what you seem to be agreeing to, is
exactly what I had in mind when I wrote the above in my message.
So perhaps we three are on the same page from the beginning ;-)
Looking forward to see a new feature that helps contributors to more
easily ask help from appropriate people.
Thanks.
