When I went through that whole "let's add a MAINTAINERS file" thing last year this is exactly what I had in mind at that time. A developer could configure git to automatically invoke the script that accompanied that patch during a "git send-email ...". The purpose of the script was to go through the MAINTAINERS file to create a list of relevant people. But the script was also smart enough to look at the lines of code the patch was modifying and include the people who wrote the lines the patch was going to modify. Unfortunately everyone seemed to think a MAINTAINERS file was only good for assigning responsibility, which is something that had never occurred to me at the time :-) > The > bugzilla lets interested parties add themselves to bugs though. ...and people could add themselves as "R"'s in a MAINTAINERS file! :-) http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/MAINTAINERS#n73 -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
