I had no idea that how tracing worked... I normally strip out mailing
lists from my patches if I think they're not necessary so I seldom CC
lkml. In years past, there used to be a lot of complaining about CC'ing
too many people so I try to trim the CC list when I send patches.

Networking doesn't need to be CC'd about wireless patches.
Drm doesn't need to be CC'd about amd gpu driver patches.

And for bug reports, I only ever CC one lore mailing list. (For zero
day bot stuff, the bot chooses the CC lists).
