FYI, I had to setup Thunderbird to reply to you because Gmail web interface was crashing when I was trying to expand the e-mail to delete the code. So, as Peter mentioned, a nice April fools' joke.

I think I understand why you brought this thread back now. Finding a way to correlate maintainers and tags is, indeed, a nice feature that can help with your idea about correlating tags and maintainers to use on tests.

The problem I see is that JSON is a good machine-readable file. It is a pain to edit it manually. So, despite the April fools' joke, my suggestion would be to create the JSON or any other machine-readable file from the MAINTAINERS file using a script.

Converting scripts/getmaintainers.pl is left for next year.

Year-base contribution!
