get_maintainer.pl finds old email address not in MAINTAINERS

Dear Linux folks,


I sent a patch [1] using

git send-email --identity=linux 0001-USB-core-hub_port_reset-Remove-extra-40-ms-reset-rec.patch

with the git configuration below.

[sendemail.linux]
tocmd ="`pwd`/scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --nol"
cccmd ="`pwd`/scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --nom"

That resulted in Gregs old SUSE address getting added:

$ git describe origin
v6.10-12246-g786c8248dbd3
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --nom 0001-USB-core-hub_port_reset-Remove-extra-40-ms-reset-rec.patch
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxx>
David Brownell <david-b@xxxxxxxxxxx>
linux-usb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am wondering where that address is coming from, and if I should change my git configuration?


Kind regards,

Paul
