You have git installed. get_maintainer.pl by default uses git commit history and searches for signatures. These are people that have added "acked-by", "signed-off-by", "reviewed-by" or any other "by" lines in the git commits. $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c Carlos Corbacho John W. Linville Len Brown Alan Jenkins Johannes Berg linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org If you want to not use git history, add --nogit $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f --nogit drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c Carlos Corbacho linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org With the latest version of get_maintainer, you could add --rolestats and see how many of the commits were signed by each person. $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f --rolestats drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c Carlos Corbacho (maintainer:ACER WMI LAPTOP E...,commit_signer:4/11=36%) John W.
