Note:

"""
         N: Files and directories with regex patterns.
[...]
            scripts/get_maintainer.pl has different behavior for files that
            match F: pattern and matches of N: patterns.  By default,
            get_maintainer will not look at git log history when an F: 
pattern
            match occurs.  When an N: match occurs, git log history is used
            to also notify the people that have git commit signatures.
"""

So more people may be added in Cc by get_maintainer.pl? I'm not sure 
it's a bad thing, but it may surprise people. I don't know pearl so 
cannot really say if what we use in e.g. .b4-config to generate the 
Cc/To recipients uses that default or not.
