Not a bad idea.

In terms of different daemons, typically the selection of reviewers
comes from the contributors for that daemon.  In point of fact, I pick
people partially by checking the blame history on the file(s) I've
modified when submitting a patchset.  Clearly other people may be
interested to know about a specific set of changes or perhaps more
straightforwardly, to follow a specific daemon.  In the former case, I
can't think of a way to handle this, but in the latter -- perhaps sub
email lists that are added to the CC line of reviews?
