N: and F: have different characteristics for get_maintainer.pl

>From MAINTAINERS:

	???scripts/get_maintainer.pl has different behavior for files that
	???match F: pattern and matches of N: patterns.??By default,

	???match occurs.??When an N: match occurs, git log history is used
	???to also notify the people that have git commit signatures.
