Hey Lukas.

I wrote a hacky script that sent emails
for invalid MAINTAINER F: and X: patterns
a couple years back.

I ran it in September 2018 and March 2019.

It's attached if you want to play with it.
The email sending bit is commented out.

The script is used like:

$ perl ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --self-test=patterns | \
  cut -f2 -d: | \
  while read line ; do \
    perl ./dump_section.perl $line \
  done
