From 92a5dbbc223e894d264fd9e7fc1782a7e26be217 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gummerer Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2018 21:20:00 +0100 Subject: SubmittingPatches: mention the git contacts command Instead of just mentioning 'git blame' and 'git shortlog', which make it quite hard for new contributors to pick out the appropriate list of people to cc on their patch series, mention the 'git contacts' utility, which makes it much easier to get a reasonable list of contacts for a change. This should help new contributors pick out a reasonable cc list by simply using a single command.
