First thread link for them: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/15/262 I use get_maintainer to find email addresses with "git send-email --cc-cmd=" but sure it could be extended to find some other new information in the MAINTAINERS file. Anyway, I think that get_maintainers isn't the proper tool to rewrite commit subject lines, though it could certainly do the lookup of a key in the MAINTAINERS file. Maybe add a new MAINTAINERS section line something like: "C: CommitSubjectGrammarStyle" where CommitSubjectGrammarStyle is something more information rich than "style 1", "style 2". Perhaps you'll propose a grammar to convert path to header and go through and add these "C:" style entries to the sections you maintain. Also, what would you expect the output to be when a single patch modified files from 2 subsystems that use different styles? cheers, Joe _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
