MAINTAINERS files generally have no specific maintainer but are updated by individuals for subsystems all over the source tree.
Exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback searches so the unlucky individuals that update the files the most are not shown by default.
Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> ---
V2:
Remove --git and --git-blame from the exclusion. Someone who _really_ wants that info should get it.
