Another option would be to write your name slightly differently in the 2 entries.
For instance, add "(LF)" to the linuxfoundation.org entry like:
CPU POWER MONITORING SUBSYSTEM M: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.com> M: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> M: Shuah Khan (LF) <skhan@linuxfoundation.org> L: linux-pm@vger.kernel.org S: Maintained F: tools/power/cpupower/
and then the get_maintainer.pl script won't collapse the equally named but with different email addresses into a single entry:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f tools/power/cpupower/ Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.com> (maintainer:CPU POWER MONITORING SUBSYSTEM) Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> (maintainer:CPU POWER MONITORING SUBSYSTEM) "Shuah Khan (LF)" <skhan@linuxfoundation.org> (maintainer:CPU POWER MONITORING SUBSYSTEM) linux-pm@vger.kernel.org (open list:CPU POWER MONITORING SUBSYSTEM) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
