That would allow options like: o git-format-patch to include CCs o git-commit and git-branch to notify or take some other action etc... It's generic, applies to multiple projects, etc. I don't care which mechanism is used, I just want to be able to CC appropriate people and lists on changes to their areas of interest without wasting time searching all over the place per file changed. The LK MAINTAINERS file is weakly specified, but I'm not a git-geek, nor do I want to be one, so MAINTAINERS was the file I could easiest change with minimal impact to LK sources. The get_maintainer script is trivial, I'm not wedded to it at all.
