I'm not sure minimization of maintainers in
the result is that desirable but I am for
figuring out what works best.

I set it at 0 for now just to play with it.

What have you experimented with and how have the
results changed?

If minimization is what's desired, what I've
tried seems to work best at around 10.

Here's the little script I used.

#!/bin/bash
#

ShowMaintainers() {
    file=$1
    percent=$2
    extraargs=$3

    echo
    echo "Maintainers for: $file @ $percent % $extraargs"
    echo
 
   ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl $extraargs --git-min-percent=$percent -f $file 
}

for dir in $(find drivers -type d) ; do
    dir=$(echo $dir | sed -e 's/\.\///g')
    ShowMaintainers $dir 0
    ShowMaintainers $dir 5
    ShowMaintainers $dir 10
    ShowMaintainers $dir 0 "--nogit"
done
