I tried to add Cc: whenever there was a maintainer listed, but with that many patches
I may have overlooked some. As for this one, you are the author, but you have not
listed yourself as maintainer. Maybe you overlooked it, but how am I to know ?

I could have added authors and/or previous committers to the Cc: list, but then I
had to make the experience that some people don't like to be copied on patches and get
mad if they are.

There is always a trade-off to make. I don't like to upset people if I can avoid it
(and believe me, I do upset people all the time ;). If I don't get Acks, the patches
will just have to wait for 3.4.
