I think that this could be reasonably addressed. When someone opens a PR
(but before the hit /submit), GGG could say:

    Your change touches these files, and so suggested reviewers include
    X, Y, Z. When you believe your submission is in its last round,
    please also include the maintainer, M.

That is an option.

As Taylor created the above suggestion as a counter-proposal, I can
see that I apparently did not express what I meant very well, when I
said:

    Is there a point in the end-user experience flow, starting at
    the time when they push their proposed change to their
    repository, throw a pull request at GitHub, say "/submit", and
    then GGG finally sends out a patch e-mail, where the GGG
    machinery can inspect the change and give the user (preferrably
    before the user says /submit) a hint that says "you may want to
    add Cc: to these people in such and such case, and if you think
    the situation falls into these cases, tell me so by saying
    /submit-with-suggested-cc instead of the usual /submit"?

What Taylor suggested, and what you seem to be agreeing to, is
exactly what I had in mind when I wrote the above in my message.  

So perhaps we three are on the same page from the beginning ;-)

Looking forward to see a new feature that helps contributors to more
easily ask help from appropriate people.

Thanks.
