Subject: get_maintainer.pl: add support to match arbitrary text
From: L. Alberto Giménez <agimenez@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Extend the usage of the K section in the MAINTAINERS file to support
matching regular expressions with the content that precedes the patch
(delimited by three dashes "---").
The change enables the get_maintainer.pl script to get maintainers based
on arbitrary text that may precede the patch itself (for example, the
commit message or mail headers generated by git-format-patch)
Thanks to Jesper Juhl to point me that trivial patches should be CC'd to
Jiri. The idea is that the get_maintainer.pl can detect such situations
and add the additional email addresses and let the MAINTAINERS file handle
who should get copies of what.
