[PATCH] get_maintainer: Prefer MAINTAINER address over S-o-b

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

 



The get_maintainer.pl script looks at git history to create the CC list,
but unfortunately sometimes those email addresses are out of date.  The
script also looks at the MAINTAINERS file, of course, but if it already
found an email address for a maintainer in the git history then the
deduplicate_email() function will remove the second address.

It should save the MAINTAINERS address first, before loading the commit
signer addresses.

We will have to add a special case if the Dan Williamses ever decide
to work on the same subsystem.
