+The task of finding the right maintainer is sometimes challenging enough
+that the kernel developers have added a script to ease the process:
+
+ .../scripts/get_maintainer.pl
+
+This script will return the current maintainer(s) for a given file or
+directory when given the "-f" option. If passed a patch on the
+command line, it will list the maintainers who should probably receive
+copies of the patch. There are a number of options regulating how hard
+get_maintainer.pl will search for maintainers; please be careful about
+using the more aggressive options as you may end up including developers
+who have no real interest in the code you are modifying.
