  A common problem on the DPDK mailing list is lack of reviewers for
patches. This script is intended to help with that problem, by picking
a random commit author from our git history, and adding a Reviewed-by:
tag. This can be added to e.g. commit-msg git hook, like so:

    # add reviewer to commit message
    $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/devtools/get-reviewer.sh >> $1

Now all DPDK code will definitely be well reviewed!

I think this is great.
However if you accelerate only one end of the pipe, you won't gain much.

Humans are still required to write patches, this is inefficient.
Here is a suggestion:

diff --git a/devtools/infinite-monkey.sh b/devtools/infinite-monkey.sh
new file mode 100755
index 0000000000..7d637266d3
--- /dev/null
+++ b/devtools/infinite-monkey.sh
@@ -0,0 +1,13 @@
+#!/usr/bin/env sh
+
+command -v csmith > /dev/null || {
+    echo 'Require csmith: https://github.com/csmith-project/csmith'
+    exit 1
+}
+
+until ninja -C build; do csmith > $(find . -name '*.c' |shuf -n 1); done
+
+git add -F .
+git commit -sm "$(dirname file): $(($(date +%s%N)/1000000))" \
+           -sm '' -sm "$(./devtools/get-reviewer.sh)"
+git send-email -1 --thread --to dev@dpdk.org

With proper perf testing at the other end, DPDK should be able to finally become web-scale.

Yep, should be doable to achieve line rate for patches to DPDK!

Looks like shuf aliased  to "git shortlog --numbered --summary | head -n 1"

Leaving the fun part aside,

Looks like we can really improve the situation by
doing git annotate(to get the original author) of couple lines below
and above current patch
that changes lines.

Thoughts?

Original author or the person unlucky enough to have been the latest one 
to modify the lines in question? :)

It could be useful, but IMO it'll also result in a lot of noise. People 
already seem to be very generous with CC's so i don't think *letting 
people know* is the issue; finding time to review is.
