The variable n_den is initialized however that value is never read
as n_den is re-assigned a little later in the two paths of a
following if-statement. Remove the redundant assignment.

Hi,

I got the same advise from some else no later than yesterday (i.e. email
the author...)
Maybe 'get_maintainer.pl' could be improved to search for it and propose
the mail automatically?

just my 2c.

Use --git option of get_maintainer.pl?


I don't use it explicitly, but the suggestions I get include some git history, so I guess that it is on by default.

I was thinking at parsing files to see if MODULE_AUTHOR includes an email.
