If they are only used by the other patch set, sure.

Yep. I personally never use the get_maintainers script. I first check
the MAINTAINERS file. If the subsystem I'm working on exists there, I
only email those that are listed there, including any mailing lists that
are mentioned (as well as LKML). If it's not listed, I then do a git log
and see who does the most sign offs to changes there, and to what kind
of changes. I usually ignore the trivial stuff.
