[PATCH 1/2] scripts: Introduce a helper script for git send-email
From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Fri Jun 17 2022 - 14:32:23 EST
Kernel documentation suggests to use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to
find maintainers, but this can be a tedious process especially when
contributing to new subsystems. To make the process easier, introduce
a helper script that can be used with `--to-cmd` and `--cc-cmd` with
`git send-email`.
When this script is launched directly (./scripts/git-send-email.sh) it
will emit usage instructions. This is based off of scripts posted by
Joe Perches.
