Unintended file entry addition in commit 7ed88a03b15b ("certs: Check that builtin blacklist hashes are valid")?

[Lukas Bulwahn]

Dear Jarkko, dear Mickaël,

The commit 7ed88a03b15b ("certs: Check that builtin blacklist hashes
are valid") adds a file entry for scripts/extract-cert.c in the
CERTIFICATE HANDLING section in MAINTAINERS.

Hence, ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --self-test=patterns complains:

  warning:  no file matches  F: scripts/extract-cert.c

I could not see that line being added in the original patch, i.e.,
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210712170313.884724-3-mic@xxxxxxxxxxx/,
but it was only part of the context of that patch. In linux-next, it
appears to be part of the commit above.

That seems to be introduced while applying or rebasing the patch to
some later version. If that is the case, you can probably just drop
this line "F: scripts/extract-cert.c" in the MAINTAINERS file.


Best regards,

Lukas
