I wanted to look at adding gitlab tags to MAINTAINERS and baulked
slightly at figuring out what I would need to change in the perl
script to cleanly handle it.
While we imported the perl script from the kernel I'm fairly sure we
don't use half the features it has and as us grey beards age out less
people will be willing to tweak it. Consider this a proof-of-concept
for discussion about if it is worth perusing this path.
For v2:
- added the missing K: keyword support
- added basic --git fallback support
- picked up a few more MAINTAINER updates from list
- updated entries for Arm and *-user
I've CC'd the kernel maintainers for the script to see if they are
interested in this work.
While the python script is still cooking I will send a PR on Monday
with just the MAINTAINER updates which are reviewed/acked.
Alex.

Hi Alex,
it seems like you forgot to pull this patch also:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/[email protected]/
Could you please include it in the current series to avoid an additional
month of round trip?
Thanks,
Pierrick
