That difference from the kernel script's behaviour is deliberate, because
the attempt to list recent contributors tends to list a whole lot of
irrelevant people. So if there's a documented maintainer we prefer to
just list them, and not all the random other people looking at the git
logs drags up. Commit c6561586f0f8586 is where we changed the behaviour
of get_maintainer.pl and the commit message has some rationale.
thanks
