Hi, When submitting trivial patches such as fixing typos in comments, should I always Cc all people suggested by get_maintainer.pl? For example, I noticed a typo in comments in drivers/base/power/common.c for which get_maintainers.pl suggests 4 individuals plus 2 mailings lists (to which I think I should add the Trivial Patch Monkey). Intuitively, it feels wrong to personally spam 4 people for such a trivial thing. OTOH, maybe it's OK because those people are used to handle a very large volume of email anyway, and they prefer to have an opportunity to see everything, no matter how trivial. What's the best usage here? Thanks, Manuel.
