get_maintainer: exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback

2020-10-16T18:11:19Z

MAINTAINERS files generally have no specific maintainer but are updated by individuals for subsystems all over the source tree. Exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback searches so the unlucky individuals that update the files the most are not shown by default.

get_maintainer: add test for file in VCS

It's somewhat common for me to ask get_maintainer to tell me who maintains a patch file rather than the files modified by the patch.

get_maintainer: fix unexpected behavior for path/to//file (double slashes)

2020-06-05T02:06:24Z

get_maintainer behaves differently if there is a double sequential forward slash in a filename because the total number of slashes in a filename is used to match MAINTAINERS file patterns. For example: (with double slash) $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/gpu/drm//lima David Airlie (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS) Daniel Vetter (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS,commit_signer:3/42=7%) Qiang Yu (commit_signer:36/42=86%,authored:24/42=57%) Vasily Khoruzhick (commit_signer:26/42=62%) Krzysztof Kozlowski (commit_signer:5/42=12%,authored:5/42=12%) Emil Velikov (commit_signer:4/42=10%) dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org (open list:DRM DRIVERS) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) (without double slash) $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/gpu/drm/lima Qiang Yu (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS FOR LIMA) David Airlie (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS) Daniel Vetter (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS) dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org (open list:DRM DRIVERS FOR LIMA) lima@lists.freedesktop.org (moderated list:DRM DRIVERS FOR LIMA) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) So reduce consecutive double slashes to a single slash by using File::Spec->canonpath(). from: https://perldoc.perl.org/File/Spec/Unix.html canonpath() No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical cleanup of a path. On UNIX eliminates successive slashes and successive "/.".

get_maintainer: add email addresses from .yaml files

2020-06-05T02:06:24Z

.yaml files can contain maintainer/author addresses and it seems unlikely or unnecessary that individual MAINTAINER file section entries for each .yaml file will be created. So add the email addresses found in .yaml files to the default get_maintainer output. The email addresses are marked with "(in file)" when using the "--roles" or "--rolestats" options.

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: deprioritize old Fixes: addresses

2020-02-21T19:22:15Z

Recently, I found that get_maintainer was causing me to send emails to the old addresses for maintainers. Since I usually just trust the output of get_maintainer to know the right email address, I didn't even look carefully and fired off two patch series that went to the wrong place. Oops. The problem was introduced recently when trying to add signatures from Fixes. The problem was that these email addresses were added too early in the process of compiling our list of places to send. Things added to the list earlier are considered more canonical and when we later added maintainer entries we ended up deduplicating to the old address. Here are two examples using mainline commits (to make it easier to replicate) for the two maintainers that I messed up recently: $ git format-patch d8549bcd0529~..d8549bcd0529 $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-clk-Add-clk_hw*.patch | grep Boyd Stephen Boyd ... $ git format-patch 6d1238aa3395~..6d1238aa3395 $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-arm64-dts-qcom-qcs404*.patch | grep Andy Andy Gross Let's move the adding of addresses from Fixes: to the end since the email addresses from these are much more likely to be older. After this patch the above examples get the right addresses for the two examples.

Commit 1ca84ed6425f ("MAINTAINERS: Reclaim the P: tag for Maintainer Entry Profile") changed the use of the "P:" tag from "Person" to "Profile (ie: special subsystem coding styles and characteristics)" Change how get_maintainer.pl parses the "P:" tag to match.

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add signatures from Fixes: lines in commit message

2019-12-05T03:44:12Z

A Fixes: lines in a commit message generally indicate that a previous commit was inadequate for whatever reason. The signers of the previous inadequate commit should also be cc'd on this new commit so update get_maintainer to find the old commit and add the original signers.

get_maintainer: add ability to skip moderated mailing lists

2019-07-17T02:23:22Z

Add a command line switch --no-moderated to skip L: mailing lists marked with 'moderated'. Some people prefer not emailing moderated mailing lists as the moderation time can be indeterminate and some emails can be intentionally dropped by a moderator. This can cause fragmentation of email threads when some are subscribed to a moderated list but others are not and emails are dropped.

get_maintainer: allow option --mpath to read all files in

2018-08-22T17:52:48Z

There is an external use case for multiple private MAINTAINER style files in a separate directory. Allow it. --mpath has a default of "./MAINTAINERS". The value entered can be either a file or a directory. The behaviors are now: --mpath Read only the specific file as file --mpath Read all files in as files --mpath --find-maintainer-files Recurse through and read all files named MAINTAINERS Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/991b2f20112d53863cd79e61d908f1d26d3e1971.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Tested-by: Don Zickus Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
