The idea is that the list of subscribers to gcc-maintainers is generated
automatically from gcc/MAINTAINERS.

Back in June, I even hacked a bit of Perl to do that (though I'm sure you
could do it in just 1.5 lines <g>) and Jeff used this to regenerate the
subscriber list.  Perhaps this could be executed regularily/automatically?

(If so, I could add it to gcc/maintainer-scripts, for example.)
