I could try to solve it, but my Perl-fu is > weak and you are the wizard of get_maintainer.pl anyway... :-) It's not perl, it's the entry for K: bpf in the BPF section. BPF (Safe dynamic programs and tools) M: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx> M: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [...] K: bpf N: bpf This K: entry matches a _lot_ of files that contain bpf. For instance, the .clang-format file has: $ git grep bpf .clang-format .clang-format: - 'bpf_for_each_spilled_reg' If you use --no-keywords, you get: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f --no-keywords .clang-format Miguel Ojeda <miguel.ojeda.sandonis@xxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:CLANG-FORMAT FILE) linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)
