Disable git fallback so get_maintainer.pl only returns the information that is in MAINTAINERS by default. Suggested-by: Wolfram Sang Signed-off-by: Javier Martinez Canillas --- Hello, This patch was suggested by Wolfram on this thread [0] but it is something I thought before because I've seen people complaining on a regular basis about being cc'ed in random patches and there are tools like patman [1] that rely on get_maintainers.pl to post the patches.
