    get_maintainers.pl: follow renames when looking up commit signers · ed128fea
    Ian Campbell authored
    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" <davem@davemloft.net> (commit_signer:5/7=71%)
            Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> (commit_signer:2/7=29%)
            Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> (commit_signer:1/7=14%)
            Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> (commit_signer:1/7=14%)
            Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> (commit_signer:1/7=14%)
            netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
            linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (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" <davem@davemloft.net> (commit_signer:31/34=91%)
            Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> (commit_signer:11/34=32%)
            Szymon Janc <szymon@janc.net.pl> (commit_signer:5/34=15%)
            Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> (commit_signer:3/34=9%)
            Paul <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> (commit_signer:2/34=6%)
            netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
            linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
