PATCH 1/1 MAINTAINERS and scripts/get_maintainer.pl

Please pull from:

git pull git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/trivial-mods.git get_maintainer

Added the capability to more easily find the appropriate parties to CC for a patch.

Uses the most frequent patch "-by:" lines in git if available and also uses MAINTAINER subsystem information.

Added "F:" and "X:" file patterns to subsystems in MAINTAINERS Added scripts/get_maintainer.pl to automate CC retrieval.

Usage:  perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl <patchfile>
Usage:  perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f <file>

Coupled with git-send-email modifications, this patch helps to automate patch CC'ing

Bits and pieces Signed-off-by: and Acked-by: (probably missed a few)
