This series adds new tags to the Maintainers.txt format, making it possible to describe which filesystem paths are looked after by which people, and hence automating the extraction of a list over who should be cc:d on a patch submission. Remaining shorcomings in RFC: - Will still be misparsing OvmfPkg and MdeModulePkg due to non-tag lines interspersed with the tag lines. These lines will be removed as areas of responsibility is formally rewritten as tags. - * Wildcard support is not fully filesystem compliant except in first or last position in the path (it translates as regex .* elsewhere). However, actual cases of mismatch are expected to be unlikely, and they will be false positives rather than false negatives - so I think this is good enough at least for a start. - Provides no information of why certain people or meiling lists were picked - it just bundles all recipients up, deduplicates them, and prints them out. Using the script requires the gitpython module to be installed. Changelog: rfc: - Split patches up - one for new Maintainers.txt format (documentation and F: tags). - one for adding a new wilcards responsibility area for */Arm, */AArch64 - one for the GetMaintainer.py script - Reworked wildcard handling based on Laszlo's explanation - Trailing / covers everything under that directory - Trailing * does not cover subdirectories - Added support for X: tag - Added support for magic '<default>' pathname - Also prints mailing list addresses for matching L: tags Leif Lindholm (3): Maintainers.txt: update for filesystem area descriptions Maintainers.txt: add wildcard path association for Arm/AArch64 BaseTools: add GetMaintainer.py script BaseTools/Scripts/GetMaintainer.py | 181 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Maintainers.txt | 58 ++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 239 insertions(+) create mode 100644 BaseTools/Scripts/GetMaintainer.py -- 2.11.0 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
