AFAIR, last time you were not happy about "irrelevant" patches that were CC-ed
to you "by mistake" [1]. This time, as I see, is vice-versa.
The algo is simple - if the change touches a file where you're marked as one
of commiters/maintainers - it will add your email to CC, otherwise it won't
(however you can still find the full list of patches in the ML, it takes
a couple of seconds only).

Unfortunately current state of tooling in U-Boot is not too good to be able
to read thoughts of people and guess their wishes.
But if you know how to improve that, patches are always welcome!
