True. I noticed that too. I suspect that fixing this automatically would 
make the script too complex.

Anyway, the point is: who will apply it? Linus? Each maintainer?

I can apply it to the media subsystem (after applying the patches I have 
already doing the same), but I don't intend myself to apply it to the other
subsystems.

Yes. I mean, I suspect that a troff file should have a ".TH" at its
first line. So, SPDX header should start at the second line.
