And kernel hackers could fly if they had wings.

Look, all I care is that people who send patches to subsystems I
maintain know what to CC. The get_maintainer.pl script is obviously
really helpful here but the fact is, it's _not_ mandatory to CC LKML for
all patches. So I worry that people will be confused and no list is CC'd
because other subsystems that have a separate mailing list have that in
MAINTAINERS.

But anyway, no need to argue about this, Andrew merged your first patch
so the second patch makes sense as well.
