This comes up surprisingly often, and I think part of the issue is that
different maintainers have different preferences. I also prefer to receive
the entire series and cover-letter, but I've seen people object to being
CC'd on the whole series as well (how they manage to review things in
isolation is another question...!)

I wonder if we could have an entry in MAINTAINERS for this sort of
preference?

Maksym: in the short term, please just stick me and Russell on CC for the
entire thing.
