If people get angry, we want them to have those emails filtered away.  

I for one, would not filter them away. I doubt many people will filter
them away. Postpone? Maybe. But filtering them to > /dev/null? I doubt
it. And if they do, it is their choice.

If you care about cc'ing someone deeply, you just put him manually on the
cc list and thus bypass any get_maintainer.pl-provoked filtering.
