    get_maintainer: Prepare for separate MAINTAINERS files · 6f7d98ec

    Allow for MAINTAINERS to become a directory and if it is,
    read all the files in the directory for maintained sections.
    
    Optionally look for all files named MAINTAINERS in directories
    excluding the .git directory by using --find-maintainer-files.
    
    This optional feature adds ~.3 seconds of CPU on an Intel
    i5-6200 with an SSD.
    
    Miscellanea:
    
     - Create a read_maintainer_file subroutine from the existing code
     - Test only the existence of MAINTAINERS, not whether it's a file
