I think it can be done better.

FYI, this patch came about because I keep complaining about submitters
sending me patches I really shouldn't have to care about.

Here is the most recent offending command output:

  $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig
  Wolfram Sang <wsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:I2C SUBSYSTEM,commit_signer:26/26=100%,authored:3/26=12%,removed_lines:3/11=27%)
  Lee Jones <lee.jones@xxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:3/26=12%)
  Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:3/26=12%,authored:3/26=12%,removed_lines:2/11=18%)
  David Box <david.e.box@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:3/26=12%,added_lines:11/146=8%)
  Jean Delvare <jdelvare@xxxxxxx> (commit_signer:2/26=8%)
  Javier Martinez Canillas <javier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (authored:2/26=8%,removed_lines:2/11=18%)
  Neelesh Gupta <neelegup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (added_lines:11/146=8%)
  James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> (added_lines:10/146=7%)
  Ray Jui <rjui@xxxxxxxxxxxx> (added_lines:10/146=7%)
  Joachim Eastwood <manabian@xxxxxxxxx> (added_lines:10/146=7%)
  Andrew Bresticker <abrestic@xxxxxxxxxxxx> (removed_lines:2/11=18%)
  Zhangfei Gao <zhangfei.gao@xxxxxxxxxx> (removed_lines:1/11=9%)
  linux-i2c@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:I2C SUBSYSTEM)
  linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)

Anyone south of Wolfram and north of the I2C ML is unlikely to care.

Please find a way to make this better.  For the sake of our sanity.
