Right, so you can make it reproducible if you add a tie-break to the sorting:
diff --git a/scripts/get_maintainer.pl b/scripts/get_maintainer.pl
index 34085d146fa2c..109d9fb134dad 100755
--- a/scripts/get_maintainer.pl
+++ b/scripts/get_maintainer.pl
@@ -2179,7 +2179,7 @@ sub vcs_assign {
$hash{$_}++ for @lines;
# sort -rn
- foreach my $line (sort {$hash{$b} <=> $hash{$a}} keys %hash) {
+ foreach my $line (sort {$hash{$b} <=> $hash{$a} || $a cmp $b} keys %hash) {
my $sign_offs = $hash{$line};
my $percent = $sign_offs * 100 / $divisor;
This would actually favour names that start with early letters (A, B,
...) over late letters (..., Y, Z), which might also be a bad thing. I
think to fix that you could include everybody who has the same number
of signoffs at the cutoff:

These patches are probably horribly whitespace damaged, hopefully you
get the gist of it though...
