"git info --maintainer drivers/ide/ide-cd.c" or some such would say "Alan

Perhaps maintainer(s), approver(s), listener(s)?

I think something like this should be a git-goal.
What do the git-wranglers think?
    

The thing is, if you have git, you can basically already do this.

Do a script like this:

	#!/bin/sh
	git log --since=6.months.ago -- "$@" |
		grep -i '^    [-a-z]*by:.*@' |
  

sed -r "s/^.*by: \"?([^\"]+)\"?/\1/" |

		sort | uniq -c |
		sort -r -n | head

and it gives you a rather good picture of who is involved with a 
particular subdirectory or file.

  

Like the script! Especially since it reveled --since=6.month.ago and 
uniq to me.
Just wondering, why order them in the acked, signed and tested? Other 
then removing those, the added 'sed' also fix the <name> vs 
"<name>"-"problem". + adding '-i' to uniq should help the result too, right?

Now a simple "diffstat -p1 -l <patch> | xargs <preferred script-name>" 
makes the day. Too bad, as Joe pointed out, it does not include relevant ML.
