I have a script that does that too. The complaint I get about its use is "OMG: My specific commit header style isn't followed" And the generic individual maintainer apply rate for each specific patch is always less than 50%. For instance the patches that converted the comma uses in if/do/while statements to use braces and semicolons from a month ago: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1598331148.git.joe@perches.com/ 29 patches, 13 applied.
