Cover letter [PATCH for-4.11 v4 0/1] Add new add_maintainers.pl script to optimise the workflow when using git format-patch with get_maintainer.pl

This version of this series addresses all comments on the mailing list, as well as some feedback I got in various personal conversations and/or on IRC. For the people who asked for specific features/workflows:

Ian Jackson: use ./scripts/add_maintainers.pl -p none [-c header] Reads CCs from unmodified *.patch files and inserts them into the cover letter

George Dunlap: use ./scripts/add_maintainers.pl -p comment
Tends to add CC blocks after the --- line in *.patches. This option achieves this behavior

Julien Grall: use ./scripts/add_maintainers.pl -c end
As far as I recall, Julien adds CC blocks into the body of the cover letter. This option achieves this, but there is no place that always exists other than before "-- " where the CC block can be insterted.

I made the processing code easily extendable via LOCATION specific functions. So if there is any missed behavior, the tool can easily be extended.

Also note that git send-email does not automatically add people in *=by:
tags to CC lists (with the exception of Singed-off-by). For this I added the options -t|--tags and --tagscc.

v2 of this patch contained some cleanup to MAINTAINERS which has been broken out into a separate series: see
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2018-05/threads.html#00028

v3 of this patch mainly concerened the user interface.
