By the way, as a videobuf2 reviewer, I'd appreciate being CC'd on any series related to the subsystem-facing DMA API changes, since videobuf2 is one of the biggest users of it.
The cc list is too long - I cc lists and key maintainers. As a reviewer should should watch your subsystems lists closely.
Well, I guess we can disagree on this, because there is no clear policy. I'm listed in the MAINTAINERS file for the subsystem and I believe the purpose of the file is to list the people to CC on relevant patches. We're all overloaded with work and having to look through the huge volume of mailing lists like linux-media doesn't help and thus I'd still appreciate being added on CC.
I'm happy to Cc and active participant in the discussion. I'm not going to add all reviewers because even with the trimmed CC list I'm already hitting the number of receipients limit on various lists.
Fair enough.
We'll make your job easier and just turn my MAINTAINERS entry into a maintainer. :)
