I don't it's better. It's not that confusing if the 0/n patch cover letter is cc'd to all the appropriate mailing lists and all the [1..n]/n patches are sent with in-reply-to of the cover letter and send to the maintainers and appropriate mailing lists.

With large serieses like Gustavo is sending the CC list can easily hit the points where mailing lists start blocking it, and the individual pathces really do need to go to the relevant people so they have sight of them.

I agree and that's what I wrote.
