Subject: scripts/get_maintainer.pl --help prints a warning

0) "scripts/get_maintainer.pl --help" prints a warning (to stderr):
Use of uninitialized value $signature_pattern in concatenation (.) or
string at scripts/get_maintainer.pl line 723.

1) That must be caused by line 732:
        or use only ${signature_pattern} signers (default: $email_git_all_signature_types)

2) "git blame -L 732,+1 scripts/get_maintainer.pl" points to commit
683c6f8fcbcb6de8d07545ba70aff49e50d8bcf2 ("scripts/get_maintainer.pl:
improve --interactive UI"). And a quick look at that commit suggests it
introduced (most of) the current usage of $signature_pattern.

3) Would you have an idea how to silence that warning?
