And when you make changes to 20,000 kmalloc calls, you start getting CCed on a LOT of patches since you touched "neighboring code" recently. 😭

@kees LLVM recently switched to Discourse, away from mailing lists. Some people are not happy. Fans of this or that tool and everyone else are all missing the most important point: where is the high-level, _design document_ for "get_maintainer.pl" ? It's a really hard/impossible problem, so there's no such document and no design. The choice of Perl is only the icing on the cake.
