Oh, and the output on fs/ext4/acl.c must have been created by a crack-addled monkey:
% ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --roles -f fs/ext4/acl.c "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> (maintainer:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM) Andreas Dilger <adilger.kernel@dilger.ca> (maintainer:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM) Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (commit_signer) Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> (commit_signer) Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> (commit_signer) James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> (commit_signer) Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> (commit_signer) linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org (open list:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
I'm pretty sure Stephen Hemminger, Joel Becker, and James Morris don't want to get spammed by random ext4 e-mails.
