Having a command line flag allowing get_maintainer.pl
users to decide the behavior of K: is weird to me. If I'm a maintainer setting
my K: in MAINTAINERS I want some sort of consistent behavior. Some
patches will start hitting mailing list that DO have keywords in the patch
and others, confusingly, not. I understand setting the default state of
that flag is probably good enough as it is what 99.9% of users will use.
What do you think about this issue in particular, though?
To note, we get some speed-up here as pattern matching a patch that
touches lots of files would result in searching all of them in their
entirety. Just removing this behavior _might_ have a measurable
speed-up for patch series touching dozens of files.
