It was not a script gone wrong, though the output and emails
were scripted.

No worries, it's easy to miss stuff.

fyi: the silly script I wrote is attached

Done using the latest -next with an empty patterns directory

$ perl ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --self-test=patterns | \
  cut -f2 -d: | \
  while read line ; do \
    perl ./dump_section.perl $line \
