That section does not include drivers/net/wireless/
I believe John Linville isn't maintaining all the
wireless drivers, he's acting as a gatekeeper in
a similar role as DavidM for drivers/net/.
The patch above means scripts/get_maintainer.pl can
use the linux-wireless@...r list email address for
any change in driver/net/wireless/
