The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl
along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix.
The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the
Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl.
This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's
the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody.
Perl's executable is detected automatically.
This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more
modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the
default behavior.
While there, drop "require 5" from scripts/namespace.pl (Perl from 1994?).

get_maintainer currently uses "Signed-off-by" style lines to find
interested parties to send patches to when the MAINTAINERS file does not
have a specific section entry with a matching file pattern.
Add statistics for commit authors and lines added and deleted to the
information provided by --rolestats.
These statistics are also emitted whenever --rolestats and --git are
selected even when there is a specified maintainer.
This can have the effect of expanding the number of people that are shown
as possible "maintainers" of a particular file because "authors",
"added_lines", and "removed_lines" are also used as criterion for the
--max-maintainers option separate from the "commit_signers".
The first "--git-max-maintainers" values of each criterion
are emitted. Any "ties" are not shown.

Create a new N: entry type in MAINTAINERS which performs a regex match

This provides the same benefits as using a K: regex option to match a
set of filenames (see commit eb90d0855b "get_maintainer: allow
keywords to match filenames"), but without the disadvantage that
"random" file content, such as comments, will ever match the regex.
Hence, revert most of that commit.

Allow K: entries in MAINTAINERS to match directly against filenames;

This potentially allows fewer lines in a MAINTAINERS entry, if all the
relevant files are scattered throughout the whole kernel tree, yet
contain some common keyword. An example would be using an ARM SoC name
as the keyword to catch all related drivers.
I don't think setting exact_pattern_match_hash would be appropriate
here; at least for intended Tegra use case, this feature is to ensure
that all Tegra-related driver changes get Cc'd to the Tegra mailing
list. Setting exact_pattern_match_hash would prevent git history
parsing for e.g. S-o-b tags, which still seems like it would be useful.
Hence, this flag isn't set.

Turns out this is an arguable defect in the script.
The MAINTAINERS entry for mm is:

W: http://www.linux-mm.org
S: Maintained
F: include/linux/mm.h

There's a maintainer entry, but no named individual, so the script doesn't
use git history via --git-fallback.
This is also a defect for MAINTAINERS with status entries marked "Orphan"
or "Odd fixes".

is supported or maintained. If both those conditions are not satisified,

Adding commit signers when there is a listed MAINTAINER for a file
can make the output list longer than necessary.
Change the --git default from on to off.
Add a new --git-fallback option (default on) used to add commit signers
only when there is no MAINTAINER for a file.
git history is used when --git-fallback is enabled and the pattern
directory depth is not the same as the file directory depth.
For instance:
X86 ARCHITECTURE (32-BIT AND 64-BIT)
M: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
M: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
M: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>
M: x86@kernel.org
T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git
S: Maintained
F: Documentation/x86/
F: arch/x86/
If using "./scripts/get_maintainer -f arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c", the pattern
for "arch/x86/" does not match the directory depth of "arch/x86/lib"
so the MAINTAINERS entries and git history is used to produce:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f --rolestats arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c
Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> (maintainer:X86 ARCHITECTURE...)
Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86 ARCHITECTURE...)
"H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com> (maintainer:X86 ARCHITECTURE...,commit_signer:1/1=100%)
x86@kernel.org (maintainer:X86 ARCHITECTURE...)
Luca Barbieri <luca@luca-barbieri.com> (commit_signer:1/1=100%)

Luca Barbieri is added because he signed the only commit to

Keyword matching uses K: patterns from MAINTAINERS, so if looking for the
MAINTAINERS maintainer, don't search MAINTAINERS for pattern matches.
MAINTAINERS also has rather a lot of email addresses and is easily
searched using grep "^M:", so skip it.

When options --git-blame and --rolestats are specified, add
the maintainers with the qualifying --git-min-percent amount
of lines authored of the complete file. Does not add more
authors than specified by --git-max-maintainers.
For anyone using hg, this option works but is _very_ slow.
It's orders of magnitude slower than git slow.
The get_maintainer.pl version was incremented to 0.25.
This can be used with or without --git.
For instance:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --git-blame --nogit --rolestats -f lib/bitmap.c

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 :)]

Allow the use of a .get_maintainer.conf file to control the default
options applied when scripts/get_maintainer.pl is run.
.get_maintainer.conf can contain any valid command-line argument.
File contents are prepended to any additional command line arguments.
Multiple lines may be used, blank lines ignored, # is a comment.
Updated scripts/get_maintainer.pl version to 0.24

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.

Correct the defect by always moving the index to the end of section + 1

perlcritic is a standard checker for Perl Best Practices. This patch
fixes most of the warnings in the get_maintainer script. If kernel
programmers are going to have checkpatch they should write clean scripts
as well...
