IMO:

For a patch series that spans multiple subsystems,
each patch should always CC any specific subsystem
maintainers..

A good trick would be to use the cover letter
message-id: and have each individual patch in the
series reference the cover letter id below the
--- line so any reviewer doesn't have to find the
in-reply-to: message id and then reference the
lore link.

Something like:

For complete series see: https://lore.kernel.org/r/<cover_letter_message_id>
