    Subject[PATCH] get_maintainer: Don't fallback to git by default
    Date
    The get_maintainer.pl script could be used to get a list of people that
    has to be in the copy list when posting patches for a given file but it
    defaults to git fallback so the list returned isn't really relevant and
    submitters are posting patches to random developers that just happened
    to touch that file in the past.

    Disable git fallback so get_maintainer.pl only returns the information
    that is in MAINTAINERS by default.

    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.

    Best regards,
    Javier
