Very vague idea at this point, but: for each patchset sashiko can
determine the main MAINTAINERS entry it covers and apply it's rules.
That would help with the case when large mailing lists are cc'ed.
Now if e.g. a patchset is sent to e.g. bpf@ and netdev@, sashiko
tries to find a combination of the rules and it's kinda tricky...
Maybe the better approach is to decide which subsystem is primary here,
e.g. by the subject prefix or diff stat, and go with the corresponding
rules.

Thanks,
