Hi Kiberly,

Thanks for adding all the emails in CC.
I would encourage you for your next patch to distinguish between CC and TO.
You should send your patch TO important maintainers in the get_maintainers.pl
list (as default, to all of them). If there is someone you really want to look
into the patch, then add him/her in TO as well.

Put the rest (people and mailing lists) in CC. Why? Some people filter their
mails so that they can concentrate on the mails they got send directly and look
on mails they are in CC with lower priority (maybe not at all, because there are
too much?). So it is important to have the maintainers in the TO list and not in CC.

Keep up the good work :)
Matthias
