I'm not sure this is useful.

It seems far simpler to grep the MAINTAINERS file for the repository.

And:

$ git grep "^T:" MAINTAINERS | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10
    153 MAINTAINERS:T:	git git://linuxtv.org/media_tree.git
     70 MAINTAINERS:T:	git git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-misc
     33 MAINTAINERS:T:	git git://linuxtv.org/anttip/media_tree.git
      9 MAINTAINERS:T:	git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git
      6 MAINTAINERS:T:	git git://linuxtv.org/mkrufky/tuners.git
      6 MAINTAINERS:T:	git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git for-next/hardening
      6 MAINTAINERS:T:	git git://github.com/broadcom/stblinux.git
      5 MAINTAINERS:T:	git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git
      5 MAINTAINERS:T:	git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
      5 MAINTAINERS:T:	git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git dev

I think I would not like to see the output for git repositories
with 153 matches. (or even 5 matches)

For instance: (I've more comments below this too)

And I don't know how this is an improvement as the --for-tree argument
seems _very_ likely to be typoed.

And what about reviewers? 'R' ?

Also this improperly marks mailing lists as "maintainer:<SECTION>"
rather than "mailing list:<SECTION>" as it uses the S: value for
the section rather than the actual role of the person.
