Ah! commit 435de0782b658c993350049e853ea9a8795df4e2 Author: Joe Perches Date: Thu Jun 25 15:01:50 2015 -0700 get_maintainer.pl: add .get_maintainer.ignore file capability =20=20=20=20 Some people prefer not to be cc'd on patches. Add an ability to have a file (.get_maintainer.ignore) with names and email addresses that are excluded from being listed except when specifically listed as a maintai= ner in a section. =20=20=20=20 Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Can we resync with the kernel's script to get this feature? Or should we cherry-pick it?
