right.

Unfortunate about the duplicate section headers.

get_maintainers doesn't care what the section headers are
but your script does.  

Easy fix though prior to running the script.

$ grep -P "^[0-9A-Za-z][^:]" MAINTAINERS|sort|uniq -c | sort -rn
      4 GREYBUS PROTOCOLS DRIVERS
      2 SYNC FILE FRAMEWORK
      2 NOKIA N900 CAMERA SUPPORT (ET8EK8 SENSOR, AD5820 FOCUS)
