No worries. I have recently started using get_maintainers.pl to auto
generate the recipient list, with the result that the cover is only sent
to the list. Ideally I would like send-email to use the union of all
recipients for the cover letter, but I haven't figured that one out yet.

Maybe auto-generating isn't the best solution? Wait until you need to
post a link to https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/, and
get_maintainers.pl will draw in all the BPF maintainers for you...
The union appears when you run get_maintainer.pl on multiple patch
files. I typically run get_maintainer.pl on *.patch, and adjust the
git-send-email list from there.

I actually gave up on getting my mailinglists from my email provider,
now I just download it directly from lore. I hacked together a script
that will scrape a public-inbox repo and convert it to a Maildir:

https://github.com/wkz/notmuch-lore

As you can tell from the name, it is tailored for plugging into notmuch,
but the guts are pretty generic.

Thanks, I set that up, it's syncing right now, I'm also going to compare
the size of the git tree vs the maildir I currently have.
