Subject line heuristics look at X-many commits, but it looks like
get_maintainers stops looking at git history by default after 1 year,
which seems kind of odd. I had to work at it to get it to emit your
name. :)

scripts/get_maintainer.pl --git --git-since=3-years-ago

Seems like it's worth getting the MAINTAINERS regex updated? Is this
right?
