The trouble is that subsystem is mailing list, thus I still got all of
them via b4, which is used to get the discussion.

Send them only to the maintainer, for example. Or maintainer + authors.

Basically the same as LKP is doing.

I meant it should not be send to people who did not request that. Opt-in
should be explicit and no mailing lists must be Cced (because then it is
sending to everyone).
