It's in the question you ask. Am I a maintainer of bcmsysport? No, and
I haven't made significant contributions on it either. But if you run
get_maintainer.pl on the _patch_ file that you will run through git
send-email, my name will be listed (the "--fixes" option defaults to 1).

The netdev CI also runs get_maintainers.pl on the actual patch, and that
triggers one of its red flags: "1 blamed authors not CCed: vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx"
