+I trimmed cc's and added Andrew Morton and Florian Mickler.
+First thread link for them: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/15/262
+
+I use get_maintainer to find email addresses with
+"git send-email --cc-cmd=" but sure it could be extended
+to find some other new information in the MAINTAINERS file.
+
+Anyway, I think that get_maintainers isn't the proper tool
+to rewrite commit subject lines, though it could certainly
+do the lookup of a key in the MAINTAINERS file.
+
+Maybe add a new MAINTAINERS section line something like:
+ "C: CommitSubjectGrammarStyle"
+where CommitSubjectGrammarStyle is something more
+information rich than "style 1", "style 2".
+
+Perhaps you'll propose a grammar to convert path to header
+and go through and add these "C:" style entries to the
+sections you maintain.
+
+Also, what would you expect the output to be when a single
+patch modified files from 2 subsystems that use different
+styles?
+
+cheers, Joe
