Maintainers decide what is relevant, not you. Just because you wanted
phone-devel list does not grant you ability to impose such rule and
claim it is relevant and people should Cc it.

No, there is no rule of Cc-ing phone-devel. No one has to do it and you
need to stop coming with the impression that it is sanctioned rule by
any platform or architecture maintainer.
