Subject: [PATCH] get_maintainer.pl: Add optional .get_maintainer.MAINTAINERS override
Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2018 14:25:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180626182505.4176-1-prarit@redhat.com> (raw)
OSes have additional maintainers that should be cc'd on patches or may
want to circulate internal patches.
Parse the .get_maintainer.MAINTAINERS file. Entries in the file
can begin with a '+' to indicate the email and list entries should be
added to the exiting MAINTAINERS output, or a '-' to indicate that the
entries should override the existing MAINTAINERS file.
Also add a help entry for the .get_maintainers.ignore file.
