Add the "D:" type which behaves the same as "K:" but will only match content present in a patch file. To illustrate: Imagine this entry in MAINTAINERS: NEW REPUBLIC M: Han Solo <hansolo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> W: https://www.jointheresistance.org D: \bstrncpy\b Our maintainer, Han, will only be added to the recipients if a patch file is passed to get_maintainer (like what b4 does): $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0004-some-change.patch If the above patch has a `strncpy` present in the subject, commit log or diff then Han will be to/cc'd. However, in the event of a file from the tree given like: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl ./lib/string.c Han will not be noisily to/cc'd (like a K: type would in this circumstance) Note that folks really shouldn't be using get_maintainer on tree files anyways [1].
