Hi Josh.

I think it's preferable to add --no-rolestats
to the uses that need them.

I have different scripts that I use for git send-email
options --to-cmd and --cc-cmd

$ cat ~/bin/to.sh
#!/bin/bash

opts="--nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --pattern-depth=1"

if [[ $(basename $1) =~ ^0000- ]] ; then
    ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nom $opts  $(dirname $1)/*
else
    maint=$(./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nol $opts $1)
    if [ "$maint" == "" ] ; then
	echo "linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org"
    else
	echo "$maint"
    fi
fi

$ cat ~/bin/cc.sh
#!/bin/bash

opts="--nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats"

if [[ $(basename $1) =~ ^0000- ]] ; then
    ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nom $opts  $(dirname $1)/*
else
    ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl $opts $1
fi
