Subject[PATCH] get_maintainer: Gracefully handle files with authors but no signers
From
Gracefully handle the case where a file has no signers (e.g. has not
been modified within the last year) but does have authors (e.g. because
there are local commits that modifies the file without Signed-off-by
tags). This scenario could happen for developers whose workflow is to
add Signed-off-by tags as part of git-format-patch rather than as part
of git-commit.

Today this scenario results in the following non-sensical output from
get_maintainer.pl:

Bad divisor in main::vcs_assign: 0
"GitAuthor: David Matlack" <dmatlack@google.com> (authored:1/1=100%,added_lines:9/9=100%,removed_lines:3/3=100%)

There are two issues with this output: the "Bad divisor" error and the
garbled author name. Both stem from this line in vcs_find_signers():

return (0, \@signatures, \@authors, \@stats) if !@signatures;

Returning 0 for the number of commits and a non-empty list for the
authors results in the "Bad divisor". The garbled author name comes from
the fact that @authors is the raw, unparsed, output line from git-log.
Code later in vcs_find_signers() actually parses out the name and drops
the "GitAuthor: " prefix.

Fix this by returning an empty list instead of @authors and @stats to
make them coherent with the fact that commits is 0.

Signed-off-by: David Matlack <dmatlack@google.com>
