I suspect get_maintainer.pl is to blame here. Are you sure it is because you are listed as maintainer for specific files? If you are maintain something you have to be CC'ed. It is rather because get_maintainer.pl tries to be smart and uses git to find people who have touched a file... I guess instead you want something like: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.commits.head/538561 -- Thanks, //richard
