Yes. vger mailing lists drop emails with large to:/cc:

Good to know.
It's generally better to add --nogit --nogit-fallback to
get_maintainer to avoid the git lookup addition of people
that have modified files that aren't listed in MAINTAINERS.
Really? I used them for a previous version of my patch, but Jon (who
didn't use that params) complained about too many people not being CCed.
As Jon now applied (whatever branch on...) my patch, I assume that not
using those params is better.
After all not using them doesn't enlarge the set of recipients per patch
(of mine), but reduces patch size as I group changed files per set of
recipients.
You could add a --bcc with those dropped names if you
really want to have those people receive the emails.
