If the submitter users get-maintainer.pl, then they should always get the correct set of lists. If they aren't using get-maintainer.pl, then they aren't really likely to use just the patches archive list. If they use b4 to send the patches, then even if they do manage to mess up the recipients, somehow, the maintainer should still be able to find it via the change-id search. -K
