Which is awesome! But for that to work you have to run get_maintainer
on the patchfile not the file paths. Lin Ma used:

  # ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl net/sched/sch_mqprio.c

That's what I keep complaining about. People run get_maintainer on
paths and miss out on all the get_maintainer features which need 
to see the commit message.
