Did you actually try it.
The get_maintainer.pl script should use "--git-fallback" by default,
so in the absence of a an exact match (which it won't have) it _will_
in fact pick out recent git authorship.
(Where "recent" means "in the last year" by default).
I depend that recent authorship matching quite a lot. In fact, I think
the reason nobody uses "--git" is that the default "--git-fallback" is
sufficient most of the time.
