One is "get_maintainers.pl" (no 's' in the script name), and the other one is a missing closing quote after "Reported-by", which didn't have effect here but I don't know if it can break rendering elsewhere (e.g. on the public HTML page). Better fix it before it gets merged.

In the Linux kernel, all official maintainers are trusted, so the consequences of accidentally including the wrong maintainer are essentially a bit more noise for that person, i.e. nothing dramatic.

This script, when passed a file name, will look for its path in the MAINTAINERS file to figure a hierarchical list of relevant maintainers.
