Btw, why? I think it is a great way to show that it was done in an
automated fashion.
I wondered if tagging another way would be useful but thought the
role:what could be used to allow better filtering on the receiving
side.
It also would show how many people used get_maintainer.pl.
Maybe some people want to suppress the name-tagging via a cmdline, but
then I think the tagging should be default on or it could backpack on
the --git/--nogit option.
Cheers,
Flo
