Hi Daniel,

This series imports get_maintainer.pl from kernel and reintroduce
the MAINTAINERS file in the according format. Currently one have to
manually grep all infos about board maintainers or custodians from
various sources like git log, wiki or boards.cfg. get_maintainer.pl
makes this task much easier. Also patman is already able to use it
for cc-cmd.
The MAINTAINERS file contains all custodians and is hand-written based
on infos from wiki [1] and u-boot git forks [2]. Thus the source files
infos (F:) are not complete yet. Furthermore status (S:) and
maintainership (M:) for some custodian trees are probably wrong.
Any help in completing and fixing that is appreciated.
The get_maintainers.pl script is modified to scan multiple
MAINTAINERS files in the board directory. This is required
with the switch to Kconfig which adds a MAINTAINERS file per board.
Examples:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit-fallback -f board/sandbox/
Simon Glass <s...@chromium.org> (maintainer:SANDBOX BOARD)
u-boot@lists.denx.de (open list)
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit-fallback -f arch/sandbox/
Simon Glass <s...@chromium.org> (maintainer:SANDBOX)
u-boot@lists.denx.de (open list)
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit-fallback -f board/sandburst/metrobox/
Travis Sawyer <travis.saw...@sandburst.com> (orphan (since
2014-03):METROBOX BOARD)
u-boot@lists.denx.de (open list)
This series is also available at
git://git.denx.de/u-boot-mips.git/maintainers_v3.
Patman now picks this up which is great. But it does sometimes produce
a long list of maintainers. I wonder if we could have an option to
turn it off (perhaps -m)?
Yes, that would be good. I just recently got a very long Cc list in my
quite bit patchset. This definitely was too much and I had to send those
patches manually instead of using patman. We need an option to disable this.
Thanks,
Stefan
