From: florian on
Using --git to determine who to send a patch to, it is not
reasonable to include people that only reported an issue or tested a
patch. Thus we restrict the candidates to be the one's listed with
Reviewed-By, Signed-Off-By and Acked-By tags.

The Acked-By: is questionable also, but as people listed with this tag
tend to be active linux gatekeepers, false positives are tolerable.
