Why should that be? I have tested the new command out with bug#69647,
and you weren't added automatically. In fact, a quick grep tells me you
aren't listed as the maintainer in any file, so you wouldn't be affected
by this.

The issue is that for someone like me, who maintains a few little things
around Emacs, following all bugs and all discussions would be too much.

It shouldn't be a long list, just the people responsible for the
specific files being modified. My idea is to have something comparable
to Linux's "get_maintainer.pl"[0], and a bit more streamlined (assuming
people even use M-x submit-emacs-patch).
