yes, but we now have a .get_maintainer.ignore tracked in kernel's git 
repository:
kernel# git log --oneline .get_maintainer.ignore
e525293 Add hch to .get_maintainer.ignore

so if we wanna modify the ignore list locally, we would have to do it 
every time reset the repository.

i found some mail server(for example chinese 263) would refuse to send 
mails when any of the addresses are invalid. so i need to add them to 
the ignore list(for example Yakir Yang <ykk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>).

i think it would be good if we can provide a way to modify local ignore 
list without affecting the repository.

or maybe i should just send my ignore file upstream?
