So you looked up signatures across the entire tree, found some people who appear more often than an average reporter/tester, and one of these is not a classic developer/maintainer.
But how does this indicate a need to include these addresses into get_maintainer.pl output? In no way at all.
To get your patch reviewed, Cc the relevant mailinglists. To get your patch into the submission pipeline, Cc the maintainer.
