Yeah, he told me this sometime back and that solved the issues I was facing, and in fact it looks far better now. Thanks Junio.

git send-email requires a simple list of names and addresses without decorations like roles, commit stats or section names.

You are supposed to use something like:

tocmd = "scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --pattern-depth=1 --nol" cccmd = "scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --nom --nor"
