I've probably modified a large part of files in the kernel in the past.

And I'm annoyed about this stupid behavior in get_maintainers.pl.

Joe, can you please fix your bloody script to not report me for every
goddamnt file I touched once?  Authorship of changes to a file is
a completely wrong metric.  I can see the point to guess it by
non-maintainer signoffs, but authorship is plain wrong and highly
annoying.

If you're unwilling to fix this please at least add a get_maintainers.ignore
file and add me as the first entry.  Thanks!
