Yeah, Axel is doing a lot of cleanups but he's not got an active
interest in most of the code he's touching.  If you use the --nogit
option (which is the default with current -next) get_maintainer.pl is a
bit safer but you then need to think about people who might be actively
interested in the driver but not listed in MAINTAINERS, and you still
need to make sure that everyone you're seeing is interested (especially
with multi-level maintianance).
