Yes that's certainly possible, but it's a trade-off given the
number of people that would not otherwise CC lkml after seeing
some MAINTAINERS entries with
L: linux-kernel@vger...
and some entries without.
It might also be worthwhile to to update
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.
Currently, it says to do what you find inappropriate,
direct mails to listed maintainers without cc'ing a list.
It also does not mention scripts/get_maintainer.pl.
-------------------------------------------------------------
5) Select e-mail destination.
Look through the MAINTAINERS file and the source code, and determine
if your change applies to a specific subsystem of the kernel, with
an assigned maintainer. If so, e-mail that person.
If no maintainer is listed, or the maintainer does not respond, send
your patch to the primary Linux kernel developer's mailing list,
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. Most kernel developers monitor this
e-mail list, and can comment on your changes.
