Maybe, maybe not. The list of MAINTAINERS names returned by get_maintainer.pl is: Andrew Morton <a...@linux-foundation.org> (commit_signer:39/504=8%) "David S. Miller" <da...@davemloft.net> (commit_signer:38/504=8%) Greg Kroah-Hartman <gre...@linuxfoundation.org> (commit_signer:36/504=7%) Kalle Valo <kv...@codeaurora.org> (commit_signer:28/504=6%) Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mche...@osg.samsung.com> (added_lines:109/2073=5%,removed_lines:108/779=14%) Guenter Roeck <li...@roeck-us.net> (removed_lines:48/779=6%) Jiri Slaby <jsl...@suse.com> (removed_lines:46/779=6%) > > After I did drivers/net/wireless reorganisation, and had to make > > numerous changes to MAINTAINERS in the process, I have been CCed to all > > sorts of patchsets to which I have nothing to do with (this one > > included). I suspect get_maintainer.pl is to blame here. Doubtful but possible. I have no idea how many files were modified by whatever patch was checked, but more files, more maintainers. Unmaintained files have even more "not quite maintainers", but get_maintainer.pl lists the names of people that recently modified those specific files. > Last time I even tried to fix this up, but failed due to time > limitations as the code is a bit complex. > > Joe, you seem to be the one who touched the script many times recently. > May we ask you to fix this up? I'm not touching stuff right now. Maybe next month.
