I think the ideal solution would be to let people subscribe to code paths rather the deal with mailing lists in the first place :( That way we can fix this on the "mailing list backend" rather than expecting people who submit code to do the right thing. Konstantin did some work on auto-CC based on get_maintainer output, whether vger would just fill in the missing CCs, but AFAIR he got stuck on the need to modify headers which would break DKIM. I should mention that lore/lei does support filtering / subscribing to paths etc, but from experience bringing folks into upstream reviews - running lore/lei doesn't work for everyone. I also don't use it because it doesn't support the mbox format of my MUA :( At the current state of affairs, since we can't fix the "receiver" side easily, we have to shift the responsibility on the "sender" side. Hope people run get_maintainer, and have well defined lists..
