real name, if possible and a contact address
here . Just in case I need someone to bother :)
Please look at the MAINTAINERS file, that will give
the contact for PS3. It is much easier to maintain
a single place for the contact than many spread
throughout the kernel sources.
Having it in MODULE_AUTHOR allow my scripts to automatically
send an email when appropriate.
MAINTAINERS lists the files with an arbitrary
driver title so that the search must be made by an human and there's
no field that links a person to a specific .c .
so every time I want to address someone I need to check MODULE_AUTHOR,
the git log and the MAINTAINERS file.
I see. It seems what you want is MODULE_MAINTAINER, as author is
the author, who after some time, may not be the maintainer any more.
There was some work by Joe Perches to list the files a maintainer is
responsible for into the MAINTAINERS file. I think that would give
you what you want, a way to automatically get the maintainer of a
file.
Joe, could you let us know the status of that work?
