Maintainer scripts
This folder contains various executable scripts for nixpkgs maintainers, and supporting data or nixlang files as needed. These scripts generally aren't a stable interface and may changed or be removed.
What follows is a (very incomplete) overview of available scripts.
Metadata
check-by-name.sh
An alias for pkgs/test/nixpkgs-check-by-name/scripts/run-local.sh, see documentation.
get-maintainer.sh
get-maintainer.sh [selector] value returns a JSON object describing
a given nixpkgs maintainer, equivalent to lib.maintainers.${x} // { handle = x; }.
This allows looking up a maintainer's attrset (including GitHub and Matrix
handles, email address etc.) based on any of their handles, more correctly and
robustly than text search through maintainers-list.nix.

The maintainer is designated by a selector which must be one of:
handle(default): the maintainer's attribute name inlib.maintainers;email,name,github,githubId,matrix,name: attributes of the maintainer's object, matched exactly; seemaintainer-list.nixfor the fields' definition.
