By the way you haven't CCed the Fixes commit author (me).

Hi Nikolay

You are not listed. Maybe you can submit a patch to MAINTAINERS?

I didn't mean it as a maintainer, it is customary and good practice
to email the author of the commit that introduced the regression,
that is all I was trying to say.

Interesting:

scripts/get_maintainer.pl --help
usage: scripts/get_maintainer.pl [options] patchfile
       scripts/get_maintainer.pl [options] -f file|directory
version: 0.26

MAINTAINER field selection options:
  --email => print email address(es) if any
...
    --fixes => for patches, add signatures of commits with 'Fixes: <commit>' (default: 1 (on))

So it should of done it, if it was run on the patch, rather than the
file.

I wounder what "b4 prep --auto-to-cc" does?
