Is there script for automated checkpatch.pl && get_maintainers.pl &&
git send-email for range of commits? I see none. Would it be welcome
to submit such one to kernel tree?

You can use `splitpatch` to split a patch into multiple mails with the
correct mailing list and maintainers. It generates a script to
chain-send these emails using `cocci-send-email` (a modified version of
`git-send-email`).

Both are available in the `tools/` directory of coccinelle's
distribution <http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/>.
Thank you for this info, but it doesn't match exactly what i seek for.
I'd like to automate checking and sending exactly of range of git
commits, or of a set of files generated by git-format-patch.
I also cannot use cocci-send-email because it doesn't pick To: and Cc:
lines which i inject into git-format-patch-formatted files. And i
don't know tools to format the patches in "The original format used by
Greg Kroah-Hartman's send_lots_of_email.pl script".
My target should be to
- check all patches,
- find set of email addresses to Cc for each patch,
- send them at once to correct sets of addresses, entering SMTP
password only once if it is not stored in git-config.
git send-email can do all of the last two things, have you tried it?

As for the format for my old script, I should just delete that logic, I
don't even use it anymore, I just use git send-email.

thanks,m
