I think we misunderstand each other. 

For the reference, you talk about this snippet? Or did I overlook smth?

$ cat scripts/send-email-listed-MAINTAINERS-only
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $(basename $1) =~ ^0000- ]] ; then
    ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit $(dirname $1)/*
else
    ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit $1
fi


But for the interactive mode I had STDIN in mind. 
And now that I checked, it is indeed possible. I have a quick prove of
concept for an get_maintainer.pl --interactive mode that shows you the
cc's, lists their commits  and let's you choose whom to add to the cc
(using STDERR, as git-send-email.pl obviously expects adresses on
STDOUT).
I haven't experimented much with it, but if it works out expect a
patch. But first I need some coffee and breakfast, as it's morning
over here. :-)

Flo
