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.

The U, B, and E all describe such mail exactly.
