FWIW I've noticed that get_maintainer.pl has a tendency to pick up
people it probably shouldn't when run on areas that have had few people
committing to them since it tends to pick up people who've done generic
cleanups but have no specific interest in that area of code.  I think a
heuristic based on filtering the git log based on the proportion of
commits that were done by each committer would help with many of these
cases.
