Not really, git send-email does not support --suppress-to, and with
get_maintainers.pl coupled with git send-email as follows

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[sendemail]
        tocmd = "`pwd`/scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --nol --"
        cccmd = "`pwd`/scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --nom --nor --nofixes --"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

my address is added to To: if I am a maintainer of the patched files.
To avoid this the --ignore-me options can be added to tocmd.
