I think cc:ing lkml should be the default for patches. Having a few selected sections have lkml entries might make people think that a section that doesn't specifically mention lkml therefore wouldn't need to a cc: to lkml. Perhaps MAINTAINERS should mention that its preface as well as having it in Documentation/SubmittingPatches?
