Hi Roel.

I don't see a benefit to finding maintainers for
a particular patch or file/directory here.

I think git should be used for what git does well.

$ git log --since=1-year-ago --format=%s sound/core | grep "ALSA" | wc -l
72

Maybe if something like git log -grep were used to
find patterns and the signers for that pattern.

That's a bit like the recently added "K:" keyword.

cheers, Joe
