Hi,I've reviewed the Contributor Covenant and the Linux Kernel Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct Interpretation, and I couldn't find anything suggesting that CCing a large number of people is "unfriendly".
And while I don't believe my actions were malicious, I understand your concern.
Going forward, I'll be more considerate of the recipients when sending emails and will avoid CCing more than a hundred people at once in similar situations.

I think there may be a misunderstanding. These all recipients can be found in the git history of fs/pipe.c.
that's the best way to be added to .procmailrc and be completely ignored by everyone. At some point one should wonder whether that's a common practice or if such behaviors will be considered offensive by the majority. get_maintainer.pl only lists the 2 lists and 3 addresses I left in CC (after Kent and Andy whom I left since they replied to you).This patch, for example, has been submitted multiple times without receiving any response, unfortunately.It can happen, but sending to the right people and possibly resending if it gets lost is usually sufficient to attract attention. Sending to that many people make you look like someone feeling so important they need to shout in a loudspeaker to send orders to everyone.
Sincerely hope that's the case.
Please refrain from doing this in the future.
As above. Thanks, -- WangYuli
