[PATCH] [RFC] Add a script that searched per-file maintainers for a patch.

[Uwe Kleine-KÃnig]

I assume currently there are no files that have the maintainers noted in
a source file in a way that is understandable by the script, but for
testing you can use scripts/genpatchcc.py itself.  It is meant to be
used with git-send-email --cc-cmd=...

Currently the format to specify a maintainer is

	/*
	 * TOPIC
	 * P: M. Aintainer <ma@xxxxxxxxx>
	 * L: some-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
	 */

similar to the format of the MAINTAINERS file.  This has to be specified
in the first comment of a file starting at the file's start.  #-like
comments are supported, too.

---
To test it, apply the patch, and modify scripts/genpatchcc.py.  Then you
can run:

	git diff | scripts/genpatchcc.py

I havn't tested it yet with git-send-email and there are several things
to improve as noted in the comments of the script (and probably more).
And of course some documentation is missing.

Please consider it as a first draft and feel free to comment.

Best regards
Uwe

+# wishlist:
+# - support for per-directory '.maintainers' file
+#   when should it be used?  Assume a/b/c/d/file was changed.  The following
+#   files could be used:
+#    * a/b/c/d/.maintainers
+#    * a/b/c/.maintainers
+#    * a/b/.maintainers
+#    * a/.maintainers
+#    * .maintainers
+#   maybe only use the first that exists?  only if the changed file doesn't
+#   have an entry?
+# - (?) option to specify the srcdir
+# - (?) parse the patch if the maintainer entry is changed, use both, old and new version
+# - (?) extract git sha1 sums and parse the objects
