If any contributor is sending patches to QEMU, please don't use the raw 'git send-email' command directly. Instead use 'git-publish' which wraps 'send-email' with logic that automatically consults get_maintainer.pl. This means you'll always CC the required people by default, and have to conciously make an effort to drop them from the CC list.
