Running scrips/get_maintainer.pl on this series [1] gave the wrong

It seems he recently misspelled his address in a reviewed-by tag to
commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo)
to __section("foo")") and that is now being picked up by the script.

I guess that's to be considered a bug?

No, that's a feature.  If it's _really_ a problem, (and I don't
think it really is), that's what .mailmap is for.

Ah, Nick doesn't actually have any commits touching these files; I was
confused by the "commit_signer" in the script output and didn't expect
Reviewed-by tags to be considered all (and at least not over SoB).

Hmm. Guess it's working as intended.
