Hi Guru,
thanks for your patch! I really to appreciate the discussion about how to
lower the burden for first-time contributors; might you consider cc-ing
workflows@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx when sending v3?
Some additional thoughts to the feedback from Pavan:

IMO, it would be nice to see which addresses are effectively added, e.g.
comparable to the output of git send-email. Perhaps somehing like:
$ scripts/add-maintainer.py *.patch
0001-fixup-scripts-Add-add-maintainer.py.patch: Adding 'To: Guru Das Srinagesh <quic_gurus@xxxxxxxxxxx>' (maintainer)
0001-fixup-scripts-Add-add-maintainer.py.patch: Adding 'Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' (list)
Perhaps verbosity should then be configurable.

(extending Pavan comment on "From:" handling:)
Please use something like line.startswith("From:"), otherwise this catches any
"From: " in the whole file (that's the reason why add-maintainer.py fails on
this very patch). Actually, you only want to search through the patch (mail)
header block, not through the whole commit msg and the patch body.

While testing, I thought that adding addresses without filtering-out duplicates
was odd; but as git-send-email does the unique filtering, it doesn't matter.
For my own workflow, I would rather prefer a git-send-email wrapper, similiar
to the shell alias Krzysztof shared (but I like 'b4' even more). Do you have
some thoughts about a "smoother" workflow integration? The best one I could
come up with is
ln -sr scripts/add-maintainer.py .git/hooks/sendemail-validate
git config --add --local sendemail.validate true
.
Kind regards,
Nicolas
