Subject[PATCH] [RFC] get_maintainer: Really limit regex patterns to words
Date
Limit file and directory regex matching to paths that contain the
pattern as a word, i.e. that contain word boundaries before and after
the pattern. This helps avoiding false positives.

Without this, e.g. "scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/westmereex" lists the STM32 maintainers,
due to the presence of "stm" in the middle of a word in the path name.

What to do with drivers/pwm/pwm-stmpe.c, which is no longer caught?
Add a new pattern to MAINTAINERS?
