OK. I was not expecting the .sh to get merged but wanted to have 
feedback as in a RFC, so I sent it mostly as a proof of concept.

Laszlo's reply and yours are the feedback I was expecting :)

Well, I wrote it because I use git-publish in my workflow and wanted to 
use your GetMaintainer script output to select the recipients.

I'm not custom to the Cc tag (I don't use it). Maybe my problem is 
git-publish not handling correctly the Cc tag feature, so forget about 
this series for now, I'll see how to better integrate both tools in my 
workflow and eventually respin (without using your script as a stable ABI).

Regards,

Phil.
