Hello Florian. There is at least an oddity with get_maintainer handling of a .mailmap entry form. For instance: Mauro's .mailmap entry is: Mauro Carvalho Chehab [off-list ref] [off-list ref] [off-list ref] [off-list ref] [off-list ref] [off-list ref] [off-list ref] Is this a valid form? get_maintainer output for Mauro is: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/media/ -f Mauro Carvalho Chehab [off-list ref] [off-list ref] [off-list ref] [off-list ref] [off-list ref] [off-list ref] (maintainer:MEDIA INPUT INFRASTRUCTURE (V4L/DVB)) I believe the Mauro's and Shuah's .mailmap entries are improper and should be changed, but I'm not completely aware of git .mailmap handling and the documentation seems weakly specified. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-check-mailmap Maybe get_maintainer.pl needs a change or perhaps this patch is appropriate. --- .mailmap | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
