Let's take a step back.

The script is here, so you can take a look at what it does.
And I dare say that changes can be proposed.

  https://github.com/kuba-moo/nipa/blob/master/tests/patch/cc_maintainers/test.py

I'd also say that the problem here is that Liming Sun <limings@...dia.com>
appears in the above mentioned commit that is being fixed.

I think that get_maintainer will dell you this if you run it
on your patch. Which is what the script appears to do.

Locally, I see:

  $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --git-min-percent 25 this.patch
  "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> (maintainer:NETWORKING DRIVERS,blamed_fixes:1/1=100%)
  Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com> (maintainer:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
  Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org> (maintainer:NETWORKING DRIVERS,commit_signer:5/5=100%)
  Paolo Abeni <pabeni@...hat.com> (maintainer:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
  Asmaa Mnebhi <asmaa@...dia.com> (commit_signer:4/5=80%,blamed_fixes:1/1=100%)
  David Thompson <davthompson@...dia.com> (commit_signer:4/5=80%,authored:4/5=80%,added_lines:94/95=99%,removed_lines:19/20=95%,blamed_fixes:1/1=100%)
  Liming Sun <limings@...dia.com> (blamed_fixes:1/1=100%)
  netdev@...r.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
  linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org (open list)

N.B.: The script excludes linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org

As an aside. This patch is missing v2.
