I acknowledge the problem, but your patch breaks the "No maintainers
found, printing recent contributors" functionality.

Before:

    $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f MAINTAINERS 
    get_maintainer.pl: No maintainers found, printing recent contributors.
    get_maintainer.pl: Do not blindly cc: them on patches!  Use common sense.

    Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> (commit_signer:8/74=11%)

After:

    $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f MAINTAINERS 
    qemu-devel@nongnu.org (open list:All patches CC here)
