When I send a patch I send it "to" the maintainers, because it's them
who I want an action from. This also matches the semantic of M: in
MAINTAINERS which requests to use these contaces in "To:".

Thinking again, this is wrong. I'd recommend:

	to=$(git show -$count "$COMMIT" | scripts/get_maintainer.pl $OPTS --no-r --no-l)
	cc=$(git show -$count "$COMMIT" | scripts/get_maintainer.pl $OPTS --no-m)

I won't do more than the above hint here.

Best regards
