Throughout the documentation we make reference to maintainers as the people who ought to be mailed when sending patches. Right now get_maintainer.pl returns "supporter" for maintained files which are denoted "S: Supported". Update get_maintainer to output "maintainer" for "S: Supported" the differentiation between paid (v) non-paid maintainers doesn't impact who needs to be mailed for patch submissions.
