From: Randy Dunlap <[email protected]>

Note that I don't maintain Documentation/ABI/, Documentation/devicetree/, or the language translation files.

Could we make this machine-readable, and teach scripts/get_maintainer.pl to understand it? Two possible syntaxes:

F: Documentation/
F: !Documentation/ABI/
...

or:

F: Documentation/ (not Documentation/ABI ...)

Hey Randy.

Perhaps it's better to use exclusion "X:" values
so get_maintainer doesn't still include you.

Maybe:

X: Documentation/ABI/
X: Documentation/devicetree/
X: Documentation/[a-z][a-z]_[A-Z][A-Z]/

The last line matches:

Documentation/ja_JP/
Documentation/ko_KR/
Documentation/zh_CN/

and it's easy to add any other directory you don't want to cc'd on.

Thanks, I'll modify it to that syntax.
That should satisfy Josh's comment also.

I'd forgotten about the existing X support. Yes, that looks perfect, thank you.
