Please remember any moderated list entries originate here by using get_maintainers.pl for a proposed patch or discuss a particular subsystem. If a moderator of a list decides an email chain about a patch is somehow off-topic and does not forward the email, likely that moderated list should be removed from MAINTAINERS. Under what use case would you want to use get_maintainer and _not_ cc a particular mailing list?
