Oh, sorry. I misunderstood, I thought you had agreed to introduce
sashiko to part of list/author/maintainer or all.

I think there are two different ways and they have different impact:

1) CC list (CC author and maintainer can be ignored beause all people
can see it)
  This equals to cc author and push other reviewers away. And no
  reviewers will be patient and curious enough to check the sashiko
  report except of maintainers. Because maintainers need pick patch
  and may check if all reported issues are handled;

2) Cc maintainers when patch is cooked
  Maintainers tell patch author to check the report. Maybe CC patch
  author directly can save maintainers' effort. 

I personally think 2) is good. About whether introducing sashiko, 
I would vote yes. I buy token by myself, sashiko would be a plus.

Thanks
