This got me to check and see that yes, our copy of get_maintainers.pl is out of date from Linux. And in fact, a re-sync will let us add a .get_maintainer.conf file and use upstream a lot more closely as it now has logic to find all MAINTAINERS files in a tree.
But this change isn't upstream. Please work with Joe Perches upstream to get this change accepted and it'll flow down to us and not get overwritten when I forget it was an intentional change :) Thanks!
