scripts/get_maintainer.pl: use --git-fallback more often

The MAINTAINERS entry for mm is: MEMORY MANAGEMENT L: linux-mm@kvack.org W: http://www.linux-mm.org S: Maintained F: include/linux/mm.h F: mm/ There's a maintainer entry, but no named individual, so the script doesn't use git history via --git-fallback. This is also a defect for MAINTAINERS with status entries marked "Orphan" or "Odd fixes". The script now checks a section for any "M:" entry and that an "S:" entry is supported or maintained. If both those conditions are not satisified, use --git-fallback as appropriate. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: make --rolestats the default

2011-01-13T16:03:10Z

This script now requires a user to add --norolestats to the command line so it's harder to feed the output of this script to programs that send mass emails. Update --help to correct command line defaults. Change version to 0.26. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: use mailmap in name deduplication and other updates

2010-10-26T23:52:17Z

Use Florian Mickler's mailmap routine to reduce name duplication. o Add subroutine deduplicate_email to centralize code o Add hashes for deduplicate_(name|address)_hash o Remove now unused @interactive_to o Whitespace neatening o Add command line --help text o Add --mailmap command line option control o Interactive changes: - Add toggles for maintainer, git and list selections - Default selection is all - Add mailmap control Update to 0.26-beta5 Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Florian Mickler Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: fix mailmap handling

2010-10-26T23:52:17Z

Implement it, like it is described in git-shortlog. Signed-off-by: Florian Mickler Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: use case insensitive name de-duplication

2010-10-26T23:52:17Z

Case insensitive name and email address matching can help reduce duplication when authors don't always use the exact same signature. o Add a --interactive per-file exact_match hash so git history can be checked on per-file only when there is no direct maintainer o Make @interactive_to list global so save_commits_by_ can check email names & addresses against this list for duplication o Don't allow --interactive and --sections o rename subroutine get_maintainer to get_maintainers o Added help text option to --interactive menu prompt Update version to 0.26-beta4 Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Florian Mickler Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: improve --interactive UI

2010-10-26T23:52:17Z

o Added searching by git-blame as well as git-history o Added different selection toggles o Added ability to list commits by author or by sign-off-type o Use custom git and hg formats to make searching for subject/author a bit easier. o Move inlined section matching and searching git/hg history to new get_maintainer subroutine o Added subroutines save_commits_by_author and save_commits_by_signer o Removed subroutines vcs_get_shortlog and vcs_email_shortlog o Rename camelcase signaturePattern to signature_pattern Update to 0.26 beta3 Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Florian Mickler Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add interactive mode

2010-10-26T23:52:17Z

This is a first version of an interactive mode for scripts/get_maintainer.pl. It allows the user to interact with the script. Each cc candidate can be selected and deselected and a shortlog of authored commits can be displayed for each candidate. The menu is displayed via STDERR, the end result is outputted to STDOUT. This unusual mechanism allows using get_maintainer.pl in interactive mode via git send-email --cc-cmd. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
