Great! Thank you so much for testing this script.

Thanks for bringing this up - I was hoping to start a conversation on this.

Your suggestion seems logical to me. I can update v2 of this script adding an
`-a` flag that will add all maintainers to all patches following the scheme of
gathering the union of all maintainers, lists and "others" separately.

Hoping to get feedback from other maintainers on this point as well. Should I
expand the audience of this patch some more? I addressed this to whomever
`get_maintainer.pl -f ./scripts/` listed, plus Bjorn.

Guru Das.
