Good sir, you don't have to CC netdev on wireless patches.
Especially trivial ones. I'm saying this because you're a
major contributor and I presume you send patches based on
some scripted integration with get_maintainer so I hope
this could nudge you to improve get_maintainer itself? :)

Perhaps any entry which has a tree specified should mask
off entries higher up?
