The MAINTAINERS entry for me only cover the arm ep93xx arch. Prior to 
this patch, if I do (for example)

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/power/ds2782_battery.c

It gives my old Bluewater email. With this change it gives my gmail 
account. Not sure if that is because it extracts the email from the 
source or from the git commit? Either way, the patch gets the correct 
behaviour for people who send patches using get_maintainer.
