If people get angry, we want them to have those emails filtered away.
I for one, would not filter them away. I doubt many people will filter
them away. Postpone? Maybe. But filtering them to > /dev/null? I doubt

If you care about cc'ing someone deeply, you just put him manually on the
cc list and thus bypass any get_maintainer.pl-provoked filtering.
