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?
I think it works fine, and is an acceptable approach to finding a maintainer for either a patch or a specific file. The changes I've posted are probably not suitable for merging by anyone other than Linus as MAINTAINERS is the most heavily modified file in the kernel tree. I've submitted it several times after merging it with the latest kernel without response from Linus. I'd merge and submit it again if it could be accepted. If someone would propose a mechanism that would improve the possibility to get it merged, I'd also appreciate that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-m68k" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
