Or use --interactive to figure out what's what when it
doesn't give you an answer you like.

Complaints cheerfully ignored.
Suggestions gratefully accepted.

Files that haven't had changes in a long time
generally aren't maintained.

Old addresses frequently become stale and bounce.

It'd be better if there was a MAINTAINERS entry
for drivers/firmware/google.

Far be it for me to volunteer someone to be a
maintainer though.

Something like:

That's what it was, then people complained about not knowing
what the people did to the particular files being modified
and the default became --rolestats.

You can get that comma separated list by adding
--norolestats --nomultiline
