Should it be machine-readable, or only human-readable?
In the latter case, some whitespace could be nice, like:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --sections -f drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c

USB SMSC95XX ETHERNET DRIVER
    M:Steve Glendinning <steve.glendinning@...c.com>
    L:netdev@...r.kernel.org
    S:Supported
    F:drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.*

USB SUBSYSTEM
    M:Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...e.de>
    L:linux-usb@...r.kernel.org
    W:http://www.linux-usb.org
    T:quilt kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/
[...]
