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 <[email protected]> (maintainer:SANDBOX BOARD) [email protected] (open list) $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit-fallback -f arch/sandbox/ Simon Glass <[email protected]> (maintainer:SANDBOX) [email protected] (open list) $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit-fallback -f board/sandburst/metrobox/ Travis Sawyer <[email protected]> (orphan (since 2014-03):METROBOX BOARD) [email protected] (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.
