I added flags to the MAINTAINERS file

F:    file pattern

for each maintained block and a script to parse
the modified blocks for maintainer and list
email addresses.

perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl <patch>

gives the appropriate maintainer(s).

Modifications since last post:

Added options to control email address style and multiple address separator

Please apply.

Well, I came up with this implementation, so I definately support it and the way Joe implemented it:

Really? Please check out this thread with at least two ideas of possible implementations, with Stefan Richter as the spokesman of the current implementation: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=116870578531280&w=3
...and I am not saying there hasn't been someone suggesting it even earlier.

The expression; nothing is new under the sun comes to mind ;)

Anyway, glad to see someone actually implementing it. Thanks!
