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...

Maybe this tool can be useful? :-)
(Improvements are of course also welcome.)

Based on Linus' script to get the email address of a maintainer, I wrote
this bash script to get
an indication of relevant lists. Maybe you can make use of the part that
parses the
MAINTAINERS file for relevant lists?
