This changes the default of the option --git-all-signature-types to be
disabled by default.
The effect being, that only certain (currently Signed-Off-By:, Acked-by:
and Reviewed-By:) tags are used to get adresses of potential maintainers.
Motivated is this change by the desire to not 'spam' people unnecessary: A
Tested-By or a Reported-By is not ment as a hint that those people want
to/are able to review patches to the code in question.
In a quest to find resilient statistics for this i came up with this:
I produced a list of all the tag-signers not already covered with a
signed-off/acked/reviewed tag somewhere in the last year of git history.
Those were 650 addresses of "assumed non-developers".
And to check if those "assumed non-developers" are professional
testers/reporters worth cc'ing, i then counted their total appearences
in the git log:
469 were mentioned only once.
123 were mentioned twice.
38 three times
8 four times
5 six times
5 five times
1 eight times
1 fourteen times
I believe this supports my thesis, that the ''non-maintainer-tags'' are
not actively useful for patch-review. (except probably the guy mentioned
fourteen times...)
But of course one could also find arguments to poke holes in this
statistics, for example does this statistic not include code-locality: A
tested-by on a patch that touches some specific piece of code can be more
worth than a signed-off in another part of the tree.
But... let's play it safe and let's err on the "safe" side meaning to not
spam those people when in doubt. We already have the signed-off's and
Maintainers file. So this should be ok. And if need be, the maintainers
can always forward the patch.
[i probably could make a diploma thesis out of this changelog :)]

When using --git to determine who to send a patch to, get_maintainers will
currently include all signatures. This can include signers that simply
report an issue or test a patch. Signers that use this tag are not
necessarily good candidates to review new patches.
This patch allows get_maintainers to optionally restrict output to only
signatures that use Signed-off-by:, Acked-by:, or Reviewed-by:.
Signed-off-by: is included because those are people who are responsible
for the code.
Acked-by: is questionable, but as signers that use this tag tend to be
active linux gatekeepers, false positives are tolerable.
Reviewed-by: is included because signers responsible for the code thought
that the review feedback for a changeset by that signer was valuable.
This patch has been modified from Florian's original submission to change
the supported signature types to the canonical forms and use slightly
different spacing. A couple of spacing issues were also corrected in the
original source. The command line argument was also renamed.

Add an imperfect option to search a source file for email addresses.
New option: --file-emails or --fe
email addresses in files are freeform text and are nearly impossible to
parse. Still, might as well try to do a somewhat acceptable job of
finding them. This code should find all addresses that are in the form
addr@domain.tld
The code assumes that up to 3 alphabetic words along with dashes, commas,
and periods that preceed the email address are a name.
If 3 words are found for the name, and one of the first two words are a
single letter and period, or just a single letter then the 3 words are use
as name otherwise the last 2 words are used.
Some variants that are shown correctly:
John Smith <jksmith@domain.org>
Random J. Developer <rjd@tld.com>
Random J. Developer (rjd@tld.com)
J. Random Developer rjd@tld.com
Variants that are shown nominally correctly:
Written by First Last (funny-addr@somecompany.com)
is shown as:
First Last <funny-addr@somecompany.com>
Variants that are shown incorrectly:
Some Really Long Name <srln@foo.bar>
MontaVista Software, Inc. <source@mvista.com>
are returned as:
Long Name <srln@foo.bar>
"Software, Inc" <source@mvista.com>
--roles and --rolestats show "(in file)" for matches.
For instance:
Without -file-emails:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f -nogit -roles net/core/netpoll.c
David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> (maintainer:NETWORKING [GENERAL])

Previous behavior was "bottom-up" in each section from the pattern "F:"
entry that matched. Now information is entered into the various lists in
the "as entered" order for each matched section.
This also allows the F: entry to be put anywhere in a section, not just as
the last entries in the section.
And a couple of improvements:
Don't alphabetically sort before outputting the matched scm, status,
subsystem and web sections.
Ignore content after a single email address so these entries are acceptable
M: name <address> whatever other comment
And a fix:
Make an M: entry without a name again use the name from an immediately
preceding P: line if it exists.

Before this change, matched sections were added in the order
of appearance in the normally alphabetic section order of
the MAINTAINERS file.
For instance, finding the maintainer for drivers/scsi/wd7000.c
would first find "SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "WD7000 SCSI SUBSYSTEM",
then "THE REST".
before patch:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c

get_maintainer.pl now selects matched sections by longest pattern match.
Longest is the number of "/"s and any specific file pattern.

Vegard Nossum did something similar once.

The modified script looks the commits for all lines in the
patch, and includes the "-by:" signatories for those commits.
It uses the same git-min-percent, git-max-maintainers, and
git-min-signatures options. git-since is ignored.
It can be used independently from the --git default, so
./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame <patch>
or
./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame -f <file>
is acceptable.
If used with -f <file>, all lines/commits for the file are
