I have a very similar script
A portion of a cc script I use tests whether cc'ing the cover letter
to all listed maintainers of a patch series creates a header of less
than 512 chars and if so cc's all relevant maintainers, otherwise it
just cc's the mailing lists.
(Ingo didn't/doesn't want to receive any emails from me)
$ cat ~/bin/remove_undesirable_emails.sh
grep -vPi "(?:\bIngo\s+Molnar\b)"
$ cat ~/bin/cc.sh
#!/bin/bash
opts="--nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats"
maint_file=$(mktemp -t XXXXXXXX.cc)
if [[ $(basename $1) =~ ^0000- ]] ; then
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl $opts $(dirname $1)/* | \
~/bin/remove_undesirable_emails.sh > $maint_file
count=$(wc -c $maint_file | cut -f1 -d" ")
if [[ $count -lt 512 ]] ; then
cat $maint_file
else
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -nom -nor $opts $(dirname $1)/* | \
