Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/1] scripts: Add add-maintainer.py

Hi Guru,

thanks for your patch!  I really to appreciate the discussion about how to
lower the burden for first-time contributors; might you consider cc-ing
workflows@...r.kernel.org when sending v3?

Some additional thoughts to the feedback from Pavan:

IMO, it would be nice to see which addresses are effectively added, e.g.
comparable to the output of git send-email.  Perhaps somehing like:

  $ scripts/add-maintainer.py *.patch
  0001-fixup-scripts-Add-add-maintainer.py.patch: Adding 'To: Guru Das Srinagesh <quic_gurus@...cinc.com>' (maintainer)
  0001-fixup-scripts-Add-add-maintainer.py.patch: Adding 'Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org' (list)

Perhaps verbosity should then be configurable.

(extending Pavan comment on "From:" handling:)

Please use something like line.startswith("From:"), otherwise this catches any
"From: " in the whole file (that's the reason why add-maintainer.py fails on
this very patch).  Actually, you only want to search through the patch (mail)
header block, not through the whole commit msg and the patch body.

nargs='+' is one or more
nargs='*' is zero, one or more

While testing, I thought that adding addresses without filtering-out duplicates
was odd; but as git-send-email does the unique filtering, it doesn't matter.

For my own workflow, I would rather prefer a git-send-email wrapper, similiar
to the shell alias Krzysztof shared (but I like 'b4' even more).  Do you have
some thoughts about a "smoother" workflow integration?  The best one I could
come up with is

    ln -sr scripts/add-maintainer.py .git/hooks/sendemail-validate
    git config --add --local sendemail.validate true
.

Kind regards,
Nicolas
