The get_maintainer code used to match keywords is

	    foreach my $line (keys %keyword_hash) {
		if ($text =~ m/$keyword_hash{$line}/x) {

so it seems the first / in the K: <foo> regex would terminate
the match.

It might have been better to use a different delimiter.
Maybe:

		if ($text =~ m{$keyword_hash{$line}}/x
