whomto.pl -- finding out whom to send patches to

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I've written this perl script that takes a patch as input and prints the
authors/committers of the affected lines, using git-blame as the back end.

(The purpose of this is of course to find out whom to send patches to.)

There are some caveats:

- If I've understood correctly, git-blame incremental output doesn't split
  commits when a newer one is found, so we currently possibly take into
  account more than just the last patch to touch a line. This might not be
  a disadvantage, however...

- The patch must apply to the current working tree. I suppose there is
  some way to use the index information in the patch to determine what to
  run git-blame against, but this is currently beyond my git knowledge.

- It's a bit slow, particularly for large files. But doing the same thing
  by hand would be slower, so I suppose it's an overall improvement.

Running this on a random -mm patch, for example
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.26-rc2/2.6.26-rc2-mm1/broken-out/acpi-fix-fadt-parsing.patch
gives the following output:

  $ perl whomto2.pl acpi-fix-fadt-parsing.patch
  Running git-blame on drivers/acpi/tables/tbfadt.c...

  To: (Committers)
      48 Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>
  Cc: (Authors)
      44 Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx>
       2 Alexey Starikovskiy <alexey.y.starikovskiy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
       2 Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>

Maybe this tool can be useful? :-)

(Improvements are of course also welcome.)
