++For both Linux and U-Boot the 'scripts/get_maintainer.pl' handles

++    [settings]

++The `get_maintainer_script` option corresponds to the
++`--get-maintainer-script` argument of the `send` command.  It is
++looked relatively to the root of the current git repository, as well
++as on PATH.  It can also be provided arguments, as shown above.  The
++contract is that the script should accept a patch file name and return
++a list of email addresses, one per line, like `get_maintainer.pl`
++does.
+ 
+ During the first run patman creates a config file for you by taking the default
+ user name and email address from the global .gitconfig file.
