Merge branch 'maintainers-remove-inactive-folks-from-networking'
To make maintainers' lives easier we're trying to nudge people towards CCing all the relevant folks on patches, in an attempt to improve review rate. We have a check in patchwork which validates the CC list against get_maintainers.pl. It's a little awkward, however, to force people to CC maintainers who we haven't seen on the mailing list for years. This series removes from maintainers folks who didn't provide any tag (incl. authoring a patch) in the last 5 years. To ensure reasonable signal to noise ratio we only considered MAINTAINERS entries which had more than 100 patches fall under them in that time period. All this is purely a process-greasing exercise, I hope nobody sees this series as an affront. Most folks are moved to CREDITS, a couple entries are simply removed. The following inactive maintainers are kept, because they indicated the intention to come back in the near future: - Veaceslav Falico (bonding) - Christian Benvenuti (Cisco drivers) - Felix Fietkau (mtk-eth) - Mirko Linder (skge/sky2) Patches in this series contain report from a script which did the analysis. Big thanks to Jonathan Corbet for help and writing the script (although I feel like I used it differently than Jon may have intended ;)). The output format is thus: Subsystem $name Changes $reviewed / $total ($percent%) // how many changes to the subsystem had at least one ack/review Last activity: $date_of_most_recent_patch $maintainer/reviewer1: Author $last_commit_authored_by_the_person $how_many_in_5yrs Committer $last_committed $how_many Tags $last_tag_like_review_signoff_etc $how_many $maintainer/reviewer2: Author $last_commit_authored_by_the_person $how_many_in_5yrs Committer $last_committed $how_many Tags $last_tag_like_review_signoff_etc $how_many Top reviewers: // Top 3 reviewers (who are not listed in MAINTAINERS) [$count_of_reviews_and_acks]: $email INACTIVE MAINTAINER $name // maintainer / reviewer who has done nothing in last 5yrs v2: - keep Felix and Mirko Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210114014912.2519931-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
