  62 I trimmed cc's and added Andrew Morton and Florian Mickler.
  63 First thread link for them: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/15/262
  64
  65 I use get_maintainer to find email addresses with
  66 "git send-email --cc-cmd=" but sure it could be extended
  67 to find some other new information in the MAINTAINERS file.
  68
  69 Anyway, I think that get_maintainers isn't the proper tool
  70 to rewrite commit subject lines, though it could certainly
  71 do the lookup of a key in the MAINTAINERS file.
  72
  73 Maybe add a new MAINTAINERS section line something like:
  74         "C:     CommitSubjectGrammarStyle"
  75 where CommitSubjectGrammarStyle is something more
  76 information rich than "style 1", "style 2".
  77
  78 Perhaps you'll propose a grammar to convert path to header
  79 and go through and add these "C:" style entries to the
  80 sections you maintain.
  81
  82 Also, what would you expect the output to be when a single
  83 patch modified files from 2 subsystems that use different
  84 styles?
  85
  86 cheers, Joe
