get_maintainer: add commit author information to --rolestats
get_maintainer currently uses "Signed-off-by" style lines to find interested parties to send patches to when the MAINTAINERS file does not have a specific section entry with a matching file pattern. Add statistics for commit authors and lines added and deleted to the information provided by --rolestats. These statistics are also emitted whenever --rolestats and --git are selected even when there is a specified maintainer. This can have the effect of expanding the number of people that are shown as possible "maintainers" of a particular file because "authors", "added_lines", and "removed_lines" are also used as criterion for the --max-maintainers option separate from the "commit_signers". The first "--git-max-maintainers" values of each criterion are emitted. Any "ties" are not shown. For example: (forcedeth does not have a named maintainer) Old output: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> (commit_signer:8/10=80%) Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> (commit_signer:2/10=20%) Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> (commit_signer:2/10=20%) Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> (commit_signer:1/10=10%) Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> (commit_signer:1/10=10%) netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) New output: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c "David S.
