For example Documentation/adming-guide/bug-hunting.rst suggest using
get_maintainer.pl to get a list of maintainers and mailing lists to
report bugs to, while a number of subsystems and drivers explicitly use
the "B:" MAINTAINERS entry to direct bug reports at issue trackers
instead of mailing lists and people.
Add the --bug option to get_maintainer.pl to print the bug reporting
URIs, if any.

When parsing emails from .yaml files in particular, stray punctuation
such as a leading '-' can end up in the name. For example, consider a
common YAML section such as:
maintainers:
- devicetree@vger.kernel.org
This would previously be processed by get_maintainer.pl as:
- <devicetree@vger.kernel.org>
Make the logic in clean_file_emails more robust by deleting any
sub-names which consist of common single punctuation marks before
proceeding to the best-effort name extraction logic. The output is then
correct:
devicetree@vger.kernel.org
Some additional comments are added to the function to make things
clearer to future readers.

While the script correctly extracts UTF-8 encoded names from the
MAINTAINERS file, the regular expressions damage my name when parsing
from .yaml files. Fix this by replacing the Latin-1-compatible regular
expressions with the unicode property matcher \p{L}, which matches on
any letter according to the Unicode General Category of letters.
The proposed solution only works if the script uses proper string
encoding from the outset, so instruct Perl to unconditionally open all
files with UTF-8 encoding. This should be safe, as the entire source
tree is either UTF-8 or ASCII encoded anyway. See [1] for a detailed
analysis.
Furthermore, to prevent the \w expression from matching non-ASCII when
checking for whether a name should be escaped with quotes, add the /a
flag to the regular expression. The escaping logic was duplicated in
two places, so it has been factored out into its own function.
The original issue was also identified on the tools mailing list [2].
This should solve the observed side effects there as well.

There were some recent attempts [1] [2] to make the K: field less noisy
and its behavior more obvious. Ultimately, a shift in the default
behavior and an associated command line flag is the best choice.
Currently, K: will match keywords found in both patches and files.
Matching content from entire files is (while documented) not obvious
behavior and is usually not wanted by maintainers.
Now only patch content will be matched against unless --keywords-in-file
is also provided as an argument to get_maintainer.
Add the actual keyword matched to the role or rolestats as well.

get_maintainer behaves differently if there is a double sequential forward
slash in a filename because the total number of slashes in a filename is
used to match MAINTAINERS file patterns.
For example:
(with double slash)
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/gpu/drm//lima
David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS)
Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS,commit_signer:3/42=7%)
Qiang Yu <yuq825@gmail.com> (commit_signer:36/42=86%,authored:24/42=57%)
Vasily Khoruzhick <anarsoul@gmail.com> (commit_signer:26/42=62%)
Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org> (commit_signer:5/42=12%,authored:5/42=12%)

dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org (open list:DRM DRIVERS)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
(without double slash)
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/gpu/drm/lima
Qiang Yu <yuq825@gmail.com> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS FOR LIMA)
David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS)
Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS)
dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org (open list:DRM DRIVERS FOR LIMA)
lima@lists.freedesktop.org (moderated list:DRM DRIVERS FOR LIMA)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
So reduce consecutive double slashes to a single slash
by using File::Spec->canonpath().
from: https://perldoc.perl.org/File/Spec/Unix.html
canonpath()
No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical cleanup of a path. On
UNIX eliminates successive slashes and successive "/.".

Recently, I found that get_maintainer was causing me to send emails to
the old addresses for maintainers. Since I usually just trust the
output of get_maintainer to know the right email address, I didn't even
look carefully and fired off two patch series that went to the wrong
place. Oops.
The problem was introduced recently when trying to add signatures from
Fixes. The problem was that these email addresses were added too early
in the process of compiling our list of places to send. Things added to
the list earlier are considered more canonical and when we later added
maintainer entries we ended up deduplicating to the old address.
Here are two examples using mainline commits (to make it easier to
replicate) for the two maintainers that I messed up recently:
$ git format-patch d8549bcd0529~..d8549bcd0529
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-clk-Add-clk_hw*.patch | grep Boyd
Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org>...
$ git format-patch 6d1238aa3395~..6d1238aa3395
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-arm64-dts-qcom-qcs404*.patch | grep Andy
Andy Gross <andy.gross@linaro.org>
Let's move the adding of addresses from Fixes: to the end since the
email addresses from these are much more likely to be older.
After this patch the above examples get the right addresses for the two
examples.

Section headers can be quite long and some are very long and duplicated
for many initial characters.
The current maximum length emitted for a section header is 20 bytes (or
17 bytes then ... when the section header length is > 20).
Change that length to 50 so more of the section is shown.

Since git v1.7.7, the .git directory can be a file when, for example,
the kernel is a submodule of another git super project. So, the check
"-d .git" is not working anymore in this case. Using a more generic
check like "-e .git" corrects this behaviour.

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.
For example: (forcedeth does not have a named maintainer)

Create a new N: entry type in MAINTAINERS which performs a regex match
against filenames; either those extracted from patch +++ or --- lines,
or those specified on the command-line using the -f option.
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.
Switch the Tegra entry from using K: to N:

Allow K: entries in MAINTAINERS to match directly against filenames;
either those extracted from patch +++ or --- lines, or those specified
on the command-line using the -f option.
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.

For removed files, get_maintainer.pl doesn't find any maintainers (besides
the default linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org), as it only looks at the "+++"
lines, which are "/dev/null" for removals. Fix this by extending the
parsing to the "---" lines.
E.g. for the two line test patch below the real score maintainers will now
be found:
--- a/arch/score/include/asm/dma-mapping.h

I happen to have had a commit to various network drivers since the big
renaming/reorg which happened to drivers/net recently. This means that I
now appear to be in the top few commit signers (by %age) for many of them
so am getting sent all sorts of stuff and people who are involved with the
driver are not. e.g. (to pick one at random):
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c

Turns out this is an arguable defect in the script.
The MAINTAINERS entry for mm is:
MEMORY MANAGEMENT
L: linux-mm@kvack.org
W: http://www.linux-mm.org
S: Maintained
F: include/linux/mm.h
F: mm/
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".
The script now checks a section for any "M:" entry and that an "S:" entry
is supported or maintained. If both those conditions are not satisified,
use --git-fallback as appropriate.
