Just as a reminder - please don't CC blindly everyone that the script
tells you. Adding the reviewed/maintainer is greatly encouraged,
although adding the last X people that did trivial/cosmetic changes
won't help at all.

The script provides guidance, not a silver bullet (hmm where did I
read that last one) :-)
