It's coming from the commit of the Fixes: line
Fixes: b789696af8b4 ("[PATCH] USB: relax usbcore reset timings")
And that commit has those email addresses.
I suppose it could be argued that the existing .mailmap entry
should somehow fix this but without changing .mailmap entries
with just a single email address like this:
diff --git a/.mailmap b/.mailmap
index 8284692f9610..1d2062d479b9 100644
--- a/.mailmap
+++ b/.mailmap

There's no trivial way to do that.
If these single line entries in .mailmap are modified,
get_maintainer works fine.
Here's the Fixes: commit:

[PATCH] USB: relax usbcore reset timings
This appears to help some folk, please merge.
This patch relaxes reset timings. There are some reports that it
helps make enumeration work better on some high speed devices.
