I don't like reading annotated email names myself.
As the coverage of file patterns in MAINTAINERS is now pretty good, the --git results are less useful.
I'd much rather turn off --git as a default, or change get_maintainers to add git signers only when there's no specifically listed maintainer for a particular file.
