To help with this splitting, see:

It's not perfect, but it'll get you really close. For example, if you
had a single big tree-wide patch applied to your tree:

$ rm 0*.patch
$ git format-patch -1 HEAD
$ mv 0*.patch treewide.patch
$ split-on-maintainer treewide.patch
$ ls 0*.patch

If you have a build log before the patch that spits out warnings, the
--build-log argument can extract those warnings on a per-file basis, too
(though this can be fragile).
