Nice enough script. It's unfortunate that it can't output the appropriate mailing lists.
I think the shell script that Linus gave awhile ago: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/14/276
#!/bin/sh git log --since=6.months.ago -- "$@" | grep -i '^ [-a-z]*by:.*@' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r -n | head (Maybe you want to add a grep -v '\(Linus Torvalds\)\|\(Andrew Morton\)' might work just as well.
I still prefer the file pattern match in MAINTAINERS, or another external file, and/or data stored directly into GIT via gitattributes approaches.
This script can give maintainer, mailing lists, and git contact information for patches or files. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/20/352 The script works with git-send-email to cc the appropriate parties.
This script and git repository is very old and probably doesn't apply... git pull git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/trivial-mods.git get_maintainer
