Hi again,

I?m now preparing my patchset for bcm2835-audio.  get_maintainer.pl
returns:

	$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nokeywords --nogit --nogit-fallback drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-audio/
	Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHITECTURE)
	Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHITECTURE)
	Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHITECTURE)
	Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (supporter:STAGING SUBSYSTEM)
	Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITE...)
	Ray Jui <rjui@broadcom.com> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITE...)
	Scott Branden <sbranden@broadcom.com> (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITE...)
	bcm-kernel-feedback-list at broadcom.com (maintainer:BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITE...)
	linux-rpi-kernel at lists.infradead.org (moderated list:BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHITECTURE)
	linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org (moderated list:BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHITECTURE)
	devel at driverdev.osuosl.org (open list:STAGING SUBSYSTEM)
	linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org (open list)

Why are the BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITE guys added
to the list?  The MAINTAINERS file defines these rules:

	BROADCOM BCM281XX/BCM11XXX/BCM216XX ARM ARCHITECTURE
	M:      Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com>
	M:      Ray Jui <rjui@broadcom.com>
	M:      Scott Branden <sbranden@broadcom.com>
	M:      bcm-kernel-feedback-list at broadcom.com
	T:      git git://github.com/broadcom/mach-bcm
	S:      Maintained
	N:      bcm281*
	N:      bcm113*
	N:      bcm216*
	N:      kona
	F:      arch/arm/mach-bcm/

As far as I see, none of these rules matches the given path.  Am I
missing something?

Regards,
Robin
