Please don't feed the output of "scripts/get_maintainer.pl" to "git send-email" mindlessly, but apply some common sense to reduce the list if it's long ("get_maintainer.pl considered harmful").
BTW, doesn't "git send-email" add "my@email.com" automatically, based on the "From:" in the patch? Or is this need a side effect of using "--cc-cmd"?

I manually remove Greg, Kees and Colin if it's not something I think they care about. But those people are used to getting tons of mail so they don't mind either way.

Just using it mindlessly is the safest way. The only time I ever see complaints is when someone tries to get clever and leave something off. I sometimes remove LKML but you have to be careful with that because some people use it for patchwork.
