I planned to do so initially, but that yielded a Cc list of 156 people

either. In general I like Cc'ing everyone concerned on all patches of
the series, specifically for reasons of context. Some people have been
annoyed when I did so. Still, for small series where only a few dozen
people are concerned that seems to me to be the best way. But 156 email
addresses is a different story.
Either you add to many people or you don't add enough. Where do we draw
the line?
I've had the same problem a couple of times. The best compromise seems
to be to Cc only the top-level subsystem maintainers and mailing lists
on the first email.
