As with the list of maintainers, I use a tool to get that info:

git log --oneline include/uapi/sound/asoc.h

I think we have run into this same issue (you not being listed in the
MAINTAINERS file) at least once in the past, right? (thinkingface)

IMHO, the sensible solution for this is to keep the MAINTAINERS file
up-to-date. So, get_maintainer.pl can continue to be useful for people.
