Are we supposed to use get_maintainer.pl for that?

I merely wanted to get the patterns accepted.

I thought the P/M: integration was an unnecessary
complication that would delay pattern acceptance.

So I use scripts/get_maintainer.pl "as is".
Suggestions on improvements to the script are
of course gladly accepted...

If the script doesn't work well for you, please
let me know.

If the P/M: conversion is desired, I've no objection.
The script would have to change though.

There are command line options to control email address
output style:

For instance:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f Documentation/DocBook/sh.tmpl
linux-doc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Paul Mundt <lethal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

with option "--no-n" (also "--non") (Do not output "name")

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --no-n -f Documentation/DocBook/sh.tmpl
linux-doc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx
lethal@xxxxxxxxxxxx

with option "--no-l" (do not output "mailing lists")

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --no-l -f Documentation/DocBook/sh.tmpl
Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Paul Mundt <lethal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

with option "--no-m"
(do not output "maintainers" , just use git log "by:" signors)

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --no-m -f Documentation/DocBook/sh.tmpl
linux-doc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paul Mundt <lethal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

with option "--no-multiline", the output is on a single line

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --no-multiline -f Documentation/DocBook/sh.tmpl
linux-doc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, Paul Mundt <lethal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The entry separator (default ", ") is specified with --separator

By default, "subscriber-only" mailing lists are
not output. Use "--l --s" to output lists and
lists that are "subscriber-only".

There is a defect in the script right now with
"subscriber-only" mailing lists. The regex
check is not broad enough.

I'll submit a patch for that shortly.

cheers, Joe
