It's casting **way** too wide of a net:
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --roles -f fs/ext4/inode.c
"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> (maintainer:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM,commit_signer)
Andreas Dilger <adilger.kernel@dilger.ca> (maintainer:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM)
Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> (commit_signer)
Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> (commit_signer)
Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> (commit_signer)
Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> (commit_signer)
linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org (open list:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
The right answer is to just send the e-mail to the linux-ext4 list.
That's what the MAINTAINERS file says, and it's right. Using people
who have signed off of on commits, and blindly assuming that they are
therefore are maintainers, is Just Wrong.
Christoph has said he doesn't want to get e-mails about ext4 patches
--- and he shouldn't get them just because the get_maintainers.pl
script is broken.
