What if there are no tags on mail addresses that come from the
MAINTAINERS file, but only tags on the mail addresses that come from
guessing wildly based on git sign-offs?  People should just be looking
in the MAINTAINERS file, after all, and I don't think that's something
that needs an explanation.

The thing that needs explanation is when someone like Steve Hemminger
gets cc'ed on a patch for fs/ext4/acl.c, which really makes no sense
at all, where you desperately need some kind of tag:

shemminger@vyatta.com (Wild guess using get_maintainer.pl --git)
