Subject: [PATCH] get_maintainers.pl: Follow renames when looking up commit
 signers

I happen to have had a commit to various network drivers since the big
renaming/reorg which happened to drivers/net recently. This means that I
now appear to be in the top few commit signers (by %age) for many of
them so am getting sent all sorts of stuff and people who are involved
with the driver are not. e.g. (to pick one at random):

        $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c
        "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> (commit_signer:5/7=71%)
        Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@...rix.com> (commit_signer:2/7=29%)
        Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com> (commit_signer:1/7=14%)
        Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@...el.com> (commit_signer:1/7=14%)
        Jiri Pirko <jpirko@...hat.com> (commit_signer:1/7=14%)
        netdev@...r.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
        linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org (open list)

With the following patch the renames are followed and the result appears
much more sensible:

        $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c
        "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> (commit_signer:31/34=91%)
        Joe Perches <joe@...ches.com> (commit_signer:11/34=32%)
        Szymon Janc <szymon@...c.net.pl> (commit_signer:5/34=15%)
        Jiri Pirko <jpirko@...hat.com> (commit_signer:3/34=9%)
        Paul <paul.gortmaker@...driver.com> (commit_signer:2/34=6%)
        netdev@...r.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
        linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org (open list)
