I guess you should have been told in your company how to use get_maintainer.pl to avoid spamming people.
Hint: scripts/get_maintainer.pl --git --git-min-percent=67 ...
I didn't even know about those options...
Doesn't one usually look at the help of the tool they are using? How does one know what it does by default?
I don't think we can't expect contributors to know about this if it's not even documented in Documentation/process/.
This is indeed not good and there is room for improvement.
And even in that case, if this is what every contribution should use by default, then those options should become the default for the get_maintainer.pl script.
I don't think so. There is a common sense rule in play. By default get_maintainer.pl shows the roles of the people, so, when one puts the name at least they may read what the role of the recipient in question. If I see too many people in the list (let's say 4+), I definitely will start looking for the explanation why.
