How about stating the impact, something like:

get_maintainer.pl can only return commit_signer history for file
include/linux/einj-cxl.h because the entry in MAINTAINERS is wrong.
Correct the entry so that the full MAINTAINER list is returned.

It is interesting how you found it and I'm not suggesting deleting
that.

Thanks,
Alison
