Hi Ben.

Interesting idea.

This patch applies with offsets against the latest version
that Andrew Morton has in his tree.

Here are the patches I posted a few days ago:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/10/11

Are the email addresses generated going
to be acceptable to all mailers or is --roles
just used for visual inspection?

Have you tested it with
git-send-email --cc-cmd "scripts/get_maintainer.pl --roles" ?

Trivial comment:

The "signed-off" role though isn't necessarily
an actual "Signed-off-by:".  It could be an
"Acked-by:", or "tested-by:", or "reviewed-By:".

And the "blamed" keyword may be unnecessarily negative.

Maybe it could be "git-signer" and "modified-author"

cheers, Joe
