Ah!
commit 435de0782b658c993350049e853ea9a8795df4e2
Author: Joe Perches <j...@perches.com>
Date: Thu Jun 25 15:01:50 2015 -0700
get_maintainer.pl: add .get_maintainer.ignore file capability
Some people prefer not to be cc'd on patches. Add an ability to have a
file (.get_maintainer.ignore) with names and email addresses that are
excluded from being listed except when specifically listed as a maintainer
in a section.

Can we resync with the kernel's script to get this feature? Or should
we cherry-pick it?
