The list emitted by --git-fallback often leads inexperienced contributors
to add pointless CCs. While not discouraging usage of --git-fallback,
we want to:
1) disable the fallback if only some files lack a maintainer
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f util/cutils.c hw/ide/core.c
Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> (odd fixer:IDE)
Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> (odd fixer:IDE)
This behavior is taken even if --git-fallback is specified.
2) warn the contributors about what we're doing, asking them to use their
common sense:
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f util/cutils.c
get_maintainer.pl: No maintainers found, printing recent contributors.
get_maintainer.pl: Do not blindly cc: them on patches! Use common sense.
Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> (commit_signer:1/2=50%)
...
$
Explicitly disabling the fallback will not result in the warning message:
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f util/cutils.c --no-git-fallback
$ echo $?
0
(Returning 1 would break usage of scripts/get_maintainer.pl as a cccmd
for git-send-email).

All checks in the loop are guarded by that condition, and there is a
handy "if" just below. Simplify the code.

qemu.org is held by a third-party and no core community contributor has
access to the DNS configuration. This leaves the website exposed to
outages due to DNS issues or IP address changes. For example, if the
web server IP address needs to change we cannot guarantee qemu.org will
point to it!
The newer qemu-project.org domain name is owned by Anthony Liguori
<anthony@codemonkey.ws>. You can confirm this by querying the whois
information. Also note that the #qemu IRC channel topic already
references qemu-project.org.
Short of having a dedicated legal entity to hold the domain name on
behalf of the community, qemu-project.org seems like the safest bet.
Let's replace references to qemu.org with qemu-project.org.
Note that git-submodule(1) does not detect URL changes. The following
commands clear out and re-initialize all submodules to ensure you are
using the latest URLs:
$ git submodule deinit . # you'll be warned if you have local changes
$ rm -rf .git/modules # also clear cached .git/ directories
$ git submodule update --init
