./get_maintainer.pl can deal with a file been covered by multiple
entries, there's multiple example of that already, (e.g. many subsection
are also covered by TOOLSTACK).

The exclusion is likely unnecessary, and ./get_maintainer.pl will just
get the information (email, ...) from every sections that a file match.
But the duplication is necessary due to the "The meaning of nesting"
described in the MAINTAINERS file.
