The outreachy instructions say to use the -nol argument to get_maintainers, which would prevent them from being sent to any mailing list.

However I have tried to remove bcm maintainers from CC lists on replies and reminded people not to send you patches, julia > > Pavel > -- > (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek > (cesky, pictures) > http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html >
