Hi Arnd,

It is possible (and common) that people who recently touched these
files, when given new drivers patches, aren't interested in reviewing
them for many reasons.

In that case, you may want to see Alison's trick posted on kernel
outreachy list [1]. In summary, pass `--no-gitfallback` (don't give
addresses of recent commit authors) and `--norolestats` (only name and
email are printed; MLs don't get open list:-generated names). Also,
another trick that I use is to condense the list by passing
`--separator , ` so that it can be easily copy-pasted to
git-send-email(1).

Thanks.
