For small patchsets (and recipients list) I recommend: https://github.com/krzk/tools/blob/master/linux/.bash_aliases_linux#L91
For bigger patchsets - Rob's sendemail identity could work: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAL_JsqLubWBr2W3xZPsuPLOGav7CFgBdH=aCfT22F_m0_cx3cQ@mail.gmail.com/ but cover letter has to be treated separately.
Anyway, it is not the case here. This is small patchset and the submitter should run get_maintainers.pl on *the patchset*, not on one chosen file. Running it one one file, ignoring maintainers of all other patches, does not make sense. There is nothing to fix in get_maintainers.pl. I believe our docs are also correct here.
Best regards, Krzysztof
