The patch titled
Subject: get_maintainer: Don't check if STDIN exists in a VCS repository
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
get_maintainer-dont-check-if-stdin-exists-in-a-vcs-repository.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: get_maintainer: Don't check if STDIN exists in a VCS repository
If get_maintainer is not given any filename arguments on the command line,
the standard input is read for a patch.
But checking if a VCS has a file named &STDIN is not a good idea and fails.
Verify the nominal input file is not &STDIN before checking the VCS.
Fixes: 4cad35a7ca69 ("get_maintainer.pl: reduce need for command-line option -f")
