Agreed, coincidentally I was telling people today that get_maintainers.pl
only provides a suggestion and that it should not be followed blindly.

What about something like the following patch until Joe writes a more
smarter git fallback version?

Subject: [RFC PATCH] get_maintainer: Don't fallback to git by default

The get_maintainer.pl script could be used to get a list of people that
has to be in the copy list when posting patches for a given file but it
defaults to git fallback so the list returned isn't really relevant and
submitters are posting patches to random developers that just happened
to touch that file in the past.

Disable git fallback so get_maintainer.pl only returns the information
that is in MAINTAINERS by default.
