The "S: Orphan" in MAINTAINERS means that the maintainer in the "M:" field is unreachable (i.e. the email address is not working). (Refer to the definition of "Orphan" adopted in U-Boot in the log of commit 31f1b654b2f395b69faa5d0d3c1eb0803923bd3b, "boards.cfg: move boards with invalid emails to Orphan")
For patch files adding global changes, scripts/get_maintainer.pl adds bunch of such invalid email addresses, which results in tons of annoying bounce emails.
This commit can be reproduced by the following command:
find . -name MAINTAINERS | xargs sed -i -e ' /^M:[[:blank:]]/ { N /S:[[:blank:]]Orphan/s/^/#/ } '
Would it be better to change the get_maintainer script?
If not the patch looks OK, so:
