I saw that message from you about two different mediatek patch series
from different submitters. This series has 38 files, all under
drivers/clk/mediatek/. If I run get_maintainers.pl on each file path
individuall like this:

  $ cat filelist | awk '{print $1}' | \
  	xargs -iblah echo ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl blah

Then netdev list doesn't show up.

However, if I look at it as a whole, then it shows up:

    $ b4 am 20260803141659.559129-1-akkun11.open@xxxxxxxxx
    $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl \
    	./20260803_akkun11_open_clk_mediatek_migrate_to_common_probe_remove_helpers_and_fix_memory_leaks.mbx

    ...
    netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:PTP HARDWARE CLOCK SUPPORT:Keyword:(?:\b|_)ptp(?:\b|_))

I think it's matching on this entry in MAINTAINERS:

PTP HARDWARE CLOCK SUPPORT

I think it's the K: for the ptp that's matching.
