I think get_maintainer script should ignore MAINTAINERS file altogether.
After I did drivers/net/wireless reorganisation, and had to make
numerous changes to MAINTAINERS in the process, I have been CCed to all
sorts of patchsets to which I have nothing to do with (this one
included). I suspect get_maintainer.pl is to blame here.
