Subject: get_maintainer.pl bug? (was: Re: [PATCH 0/8] linker-section array
 fix and clean ups)

Hi Joe,

Running scrips/get_maintainer.pl on this series [1] gave the wrong
address for Nick Desaulniers:

	Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@...ogle.com> (commit_signer:1/2=50%,commit_signer:1/8=12%)

It seems he recently misspelled his address in a reviewed-by tag to
commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo)
to __section("foo")") and that is now being picked up by the script.

I guess that's to be considered a bug?
