It depends on the mailing list. For the kernel mailing lists it is 
actually standard to CC everybody.

Note that when you build out-of-tree drivers you will never be guaranteed 
that your driver source will continue to build with a new kernel. When 
things break and you cannot solve the problem yourself, you should 
normally contact the organization or person where you got the driver, not 
the kernel community.

AFAICT in this case the file was simply moved to:
drivers/hid/hid-ids.h
