The fact that most people end up wrapping get_maintainers in another
script is also a pretty strong indication that the user experience is
inadequate.

It's just that from past experience you seem to have strong opinions
which run counter to maintainers' needs, and I don't really enjoy
writing Perl for the sake of it.
