$ git send-email --to buildroot@buildroot.org --cc bob --cc alice outgoing/*
---------------------
+Alternatively, +get-developers -e+ can be used directly with the
++--cc-cmd+ argument to +git send-email+ to automatically CC the
+affected developers:
+
+---------------------
+$ git send-email --to buildroot@buildroot.org \
+ --cc-cmd './utils/get-developers -e' origin/master
+---------------------
+
++git+ can be configured to automatically do this out of the box with:
+
+---------------------
+$ git config sendemail.to buildroot@buildroot.org
+$ git config sendemail.ccCmd "$(pwd)/utils/get-developers -e"
+---------------------
+
+And then just do:
+
+---------------------
+$ git send-email origin/master
+---------------------
+
Note that +git+ should be configured to use your mail account.
To configure +git+, see +man git-send-email+ or google it.
