I don't know about MST but I think this is a terrible idea :-)
If I get cc'd on everything then the cc just becomes noise
(TBH I already don't put a huge weighting on qemu-devel mail
cc'd to me or not).

On the other hand, if we made this fallback cc
qemu-unmaintained@ or some similar list that might actually
be useful, since (a) it flags up for submitters that their
contribution may be in an unmaintained gap (b) anybody who
cares can easily go through the list and fish things out
(c) we might be prompted to fix missing MAINTAINERS entries.
