As you are doing treewide conversions, perhaps using
bool (*match)(...)
is a more sensible api.

Below this is a _very_ long list of cc:'s.
If the list is generated using scripts/get_maintainer.pl
perhaps it is more sensible to add --nogit --nogit-fallback
to its arguments to cc actual maintainers and avoid people
that have submitted cleanup style patches to various files.
