get_maintainer: allow keywords to match filenames

2013-02-28T03:10:09Z

Allow K: entries in MAINTAINERS to match directly against filenames; either those extracted from patch +++ or --- lines, or those specified on the command-line using the -f option. This potentially allows fewer lines in a MAINTAINERS entry, if all the relevant files are scattered throughout the whole kernel tree, yet contain some common keyword. An example would be using an ARM SoC name as the keyword to catch all related drivers. I don't think setting exact_pattern_match_hash would be appropriate here; at least for intended Tegra use case, this feature is to ensure that all Tegra-related driver changes get Cc'd to the Tegra mailing list. Setting exact_pattern_match_hash would prevent git history parsing for e.g. S-o-b tags, which still seems like it would be useful. Hence, this flag isn't set.

get_maintainer.pl: find maintainers for removed files

2013-02-22T01:22:21Z

For removed files, get_maintainer.pl doesn't find any maintainers (besides the default linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org), as it only looks at the "+++" lines, which are "/dev/null" for removals. Fix this by extending the parsing to the "---" lines. E.g. for the two line test patch below the real score maintainers will now be found: --- a/arch/score/include/asm/dma-mapping.h +++ /dev/null Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainer.pl: add support for moderated lists

get_maintainer: use a default "unknown" S: status/role

get_maintainers.pl: follow renames when looking up commit signers

2012-01-11T00:30:46Z

I happen to have had a commit to various network drivers since the big renaming/reorg which happened to drivers/net recently. This means that I now appear to be in the top few commit signers (by %age) for many of them so am getting sent all sorts of stuff and people who are involved with the driver are not. e.g. (to pick one at random): $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c "David S. Miller" (commit_signer:5/7=71%) Ian Campbell (commit_signer:2/7=29%) Eric Dumazet (commit_signer:1/7=14%) Jeff Kirsher (commit_signer:1/7=14%) Jiri Pirko (commit_signer:1/7=14%) netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) With the following patch the renames are followed and the result appears much more sensible: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c "David S. Miller" (commit_signer:31/34=91%) Joe Perches (commit_signer:11/34=32%) Szymon Janc (commit_signer:5/34=15%) Jiri Pirko (commit_signer:3/34=9%) Paul (commit_signer:2/34=6%) netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell Acked-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainers.pl: improve .mailmap parsing

2011-07-26T03:57:15Z

Entries that used formats other than "Proper Name " were not parsed properly. Try to improve the parsing so that the entries in the forms of: Proper Name and Proper Name Commit Name are transformed correctly.

2011-03-23T00:44:13Z

Extend the usage of the K section in the MAINTAINERS file to support matching regular expressions to any arbitrary text that may precede the patch itself.

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
