The two file patterns in the NETFILTER section: F: include/linux/netfilter* F: include/uapi/linux/netfilter* intended to match the directories: ./include{/uapi}/linux/netfilter_{arp,bridge,ipv4,ipv6} A quick check with ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --letters -f will show that they are not matched, though, because this pattern only matches files, but not directories. Rectify the patterns to match the intended directories. Signed-off-by: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@xxxxxxxxx> --- applies cleanly on v5.10-rc3 and next-20201109 Pablo, Jozsef, Florian, please pick this minor non-urgent clean-up patch.
