Subject: get_maintainer.pl finds old email address not in MAINTAINERS

Dear Linux folks,


I sent a patch [1] using

     git send-email --identity=linux 
0001-USB-core-hub_port_reset-Remove-extra-40-ms-reset-rec.patch

with the git configuration below.

     [sendemail.linux]
     	tocmd ="`pwd`/scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback 
--norolestats --nol"
      	cccmd ="`pwd`/scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback 
--norolestats --nom"

That resulted in Gregs old SUSE address getting added:

     $ git describe origin
     v6.10-12246-g786c8248dbd3
     $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats 
--nom 0001-USB-core-hub_port_reset-Remove-extra-40-ms-reset-rec.patch
     Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...e.de>
     David Brownell <david-b@...bell.net>
     linux-usb@...r.kernel.org
     linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org

I am wondering where that address is coming from, and if I should change 
my git configuration?


Kind regards,

Paul
