Hmm, it's a little strange to only consider recent activity when >90% of the lines were written by someone not listed. Isn't there any faster way to determine that besides using the expensive git blame? Something like weighing the output of "git show --shortstat" for all commits in "git log mm/vmpressure.c" to determine the most important recent changes? That should be fairly cheap. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
