Of course it does.

Without these patches, people have to look in multiple places
to determine where best to send patches and get_maintainers.pl
produces poorer results.

The centralization is good, the redundancy is low, and I like
it when tools produce good results.

It seems you produce fewer satisfaction endorphins from that
than I. ;)

Yup, I do that and will likely continue to do so.

I occasionally run scripts that sieve MAINTAINERS file patterns
against the current tree and highlight what's renamed or removed.

Then I post patches.

Who are you writing that to?  Me?
Linus doesn't pull from me.

Anyway no worries Greg.  Life's good.

Hope your enjoyment endorphin receptors are always active...
