Most people only have 1 or 2 drivers that's relevant to them in the big series, so it creates a lot of noise for people. For big series like this, what do you think about adding an option to 'b4 prep' to have it only put someone on the To line for the patch(es) of interest? So for example, let's say we have two patches that make changes to drivers/clk/driver1.c and drivers/clk/driver2.c. - [PATCH 0/2] clk: some changes # Sent out to everyone. Union of all # email addresses below. - [PATCH 1/2] clk: driver1: # Only sent to driver1 maintainers - [PATCH 2/2] clk: driver2: # Only sent to driver2 maintainers I could have sent out maybe 80 ish or so small patch series, but there's downsides to that as well for the maintainer.
