Subject: Validating MAINTAINERS entries?
Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2022 17:13:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220809171316.1d6ce319@hermes.local> (raw)

Several times in the past, when using MAINTAINERS list either automatically
(or from manual entry) have found the mailing address in the file is no longer valid.

What about doing an annual probe mail to all maintainers and sending
a patch to prune out any addresses that auto respond as dead.
This won't catch ghost entries but would find any dead ones.
