Or use --interactive to figure out what's what when it doesn't give you an answer you like.

Complaints cheerfully ignored. Suggestions gratefully accepted.
Files that haven't had changes in a long time generally aren't maintained.
Old addresses frequently become stale and bounce.
It'd be better if there was a MAINTAINERS entry for drivers/firmware/google.
Far be it for me to volunteer someone to be a maintainer though.
Something like: --- MAINTAINERS | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)
diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 5c5d554..f4271d5 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -3802,6 +3802,11 @@ F: Documentation/isdn/README.gigaset F: drivers/isdn/gigaset/ F: include/uapi/linux/gigaset_dev.h +GOOGLE MEMORY CONSOLE +M: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> +S: Supported +F: drivers/firmware/google/ + GPIO SUBSYSTEM M: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> M: Alexandre Courbot <gnurou@gmail.com> > > > > I also think it would be great if get_maintainer's output was friendlier > so that I can just copy a comma-separated line of "name <email>, name2 > <email2>" into my email client.
That's what it was, then people complained about not knowing what the people did to the particular files being modified and the default became --rolestats.
You can get that comma separated list by adding --norolestats --nomultiline
