When pushing patches to upstream, the `get_maintainer.pl` script is used to determine whom to send the patches to. Instead of having to manually process the output of the script, add a wrapper script to do that for you.
The add-maintainer.py script adds maintainers (and mailing lists) to a patch, editing it in-place.
Thanks to Bjorn for being a sounding board to this idea and for his valuable suggestions.
Please try out this script with `--verbosity debug` for verifying that it's doing "the right thing". I've tested this with a patch series from various subsystems to ensure variety of maintainers and lists output and found it to be doing what it is supposed to do.
I referred to the following links during development of this script: - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4427542/how-to-do-sed-like-text-replace-with-python - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4146009/python-get-list-indexes-using-regular-expression - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10507230/insert-line-at-middle-of-file-with-python
v1 -> v2: - Added set-union logic based on Pavan's comments [1] and Bjorn's early suggestion - Expanded audience and added more mailing lists to get more review comments and feedback
