get_maintainers.pl: follow renames when looking up commit signers
I happen to have had a commit to various network drivers since the big
renaming/reorg which happened to drivers/net recently. This means that I
now appear to be in the top few commit signers (by %age) for many of them
so am getting sent all sorts of stuff and people who are involved with the
driver are not. e.g. (to pick one at random):
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c
"David S. Miller" <[email protected]> (commit_signer:5/7=71%)
Ian Campbell <[email protected]> (commit_signer:2/7=29%)
Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> (commit_signer:1/7=14%)
Jeff Kirsher <[email protected]> (commit_signer:1/7=14%)
Jiri Pirko <[email protected]> (commit_signer:1/7=14%)
[email protected] (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
[email protected] (open list)
With the following patch the renames are followed and the result appears
much more sensible:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c
"David S. Miller" <[email protected]> (commit_signer:31/34=91%)
Joe Perches <[email protected]> (commit_signer:11/34=32%)
Szymon Janc <[email protected]> (commit_signer:5/34=15%)
Jiri Pirko <[email protected]> (commit_signer:3/34=9%)
Paul <[email protected]> (commit_signer:2/34=6%)
[email protected] (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
[email protected] (open list)
