* Documentation/process: use scripts/get_maintainer.pl on patchesKrzysztof Kozlowski2022-05-091-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Explain that, when collecting list of people to Cc the patch, scripts/get_maintainer.pl should be used on patches, not on the directories. The behavior is quite different, because with "-f" on a directory, the maintainers of individual files will not be shown.
