You have the script. It's already being run. Use it.

Having scripting that complains about missing Cc's, even *lists* them,
and then requires a human to do something about it - that's stupid.

Why are you using computers and automation in the first place, if said
automation then just makes for more work?

Then requiring inexperienced developers to do those extra things,
knowing - and not caring - that the experienced ones won't even
bother, that goes from stupid to actively malicious.

And then asking me to change my workflow because I use a different
script that does exactly what I want - that takes "stupid and
malicious" to something where I will just ignore you.

In other words: those changes to get_maintainer are simply not going to happen.

Fix your own scripts, and fix your bad workflows.

Your bad workflow not only makes it harder for new people to get
involved, they apparently waste your *own* time so much that you are
upset about it all.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot - and if you insist on doing so,
don't ask *others* to join you in your self-destructive tendencies.
