Oh, and the output on fs/ext4/acl.c must have been created by a
crack-addled monkey:

% ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --roles -f fs/ext4/acl.c
"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> (maintainer:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM)
Andreas Dilger <adilger.kernel@dilger.ca> (maintainer:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM)
Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (commit_signer)
Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> (commit_signer)
Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> (commit_signer)
James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> (commit_signer)
Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> (commit_signer)
linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org (open list:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

I'm pretty sure Stephen Hemminger, Joel Becker, and James Morris don't
want to get spammed by random ext4 e-mails.
