Subject: get_maintainers.pl doesn't actually get the real MAINTAINERS?

Hello,

I try running scripts/get_maintainers.pl but it doesn't seem to get the 
real maintainers properly.  Please note this is run against the current 
MAINTAINERS file.

One Example:  I would expect drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-bcm2835.c to be 
maintained by Stephen Warren based on drivers/*/*bcm2835* below.  But 
the get_maintainers.pl script does not seem to process the information 
in such a way.  So what needs to be corrected - the script or the syntax 
used in the MAINTAINERS file?

BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHICTURE

L:	linux-rpi-kernel@...ts.infradead.org (moderated for non-subscribers)
T:	git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/swarren/linux-rpi.git
S:	Maintained
F:	arch/arm/mach-bcm/board_bcm2835.c
F:	arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm2835*
