You're smarter than a dumb script. If the information that the
script parses is correct and the dumb script doesn't give you the
right information, then what needs fixing?

Seriously, all you are proving is the old adage that
scripts/get_maintainer.pl should be considered harmful because
people use it without first engaging their brain.

Cheers,

Dave.
