Exactly. Only maintainers and mailing lists will be assigned
automatically as it is _now_. Other developers need to be CC'ed _manually_.

There's no SPAM issue or never has been about what I proposed. Absolute
most people will never CC anyone 'cause bug reporters are normally quite
lazy or not experienced enough to grep git logs.

You're absolutely right.
