Re: indiscriminate get_maintainer.pl usage

The script does get some useful information out of git (but obviously
also some questionable).

--roles and --rolestats give away some more data...

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl --rolestats -f fs/eventpoll.c
Alexander Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:FILESYSTEMS (VFS...)
Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:2/6=33%)
"Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:2/6=33%)
Davide Libenzi <davidel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:2/6=33%)
Roland Dreier <rolandd@xxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:1/6=17%)
Stefan Richter <stefanr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:1/6=17%)
linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:FILESYSTEMS (VFS...)
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)

...but still don't distinguish between signed-off-by or reviewed-by on
one hand, and reported-by and tested-by on the other hand.  Cc'ing a
reporter or tester would only make sense if the patch changes something
that directly affects the reporter's/ tester's setup, e.g. reworks a
provisional fix.
