I think the split is great. It would be even better if this
distinction could be made in MAINTAINERS and then the tools could use
that. For example, on treewide changes on Cc subsystem maintainers and
skip driver maintainers. The problem right now is Cc'ing everyone
quickly hits maillist moderation for too many recipients.
