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@xxxxxxx> (maintainer:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM)
Andreas Dilger <adilger.kernel@xxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM)
Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer)
Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer)
Joel Becker <joel.becker@xxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer)
James Morris <jmorris@xxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer)
Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> (commit_signer)
linux-ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:EXT4 FILE SYSTEM)
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)

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