scripts/get_maintainer.pl: http addresses in MAINTAINER's L: line

[Paul Bolle]

Andrew, Joe,

(You two touched this script the most, it seems.)

The MAINTAINERS entry for the "TARGET SUBSYSTEM" uses an http address
for one of its L: lines. The "DC395x SCSI driver" does that too. This
shows up as a useless line in the output of scripts/get_maintainer.pl:
    [...]
     (open list:TARGET SUBSYSTEM)
    [...]

Should another test be added to get_maintainer.pl (which is already over
2000 lines long) or should these two entries be converted to "W:"?

I'd change the line in MAINTAINERS from

L:	http://groups.google.com/group/linux-iscsi-target-dev
to
W:	http://groups.google.com/group/linux-iscsi-target-dev

as it's a web based discussion not an email address.

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Update L: misuses

[Joe Perches]

L: lines are for the email addresses of traditional mailing lists.
W: lines are for URLs.

Convert two L: misuses to W: links.
