Seems legal, fetch even works

Yes.  For a ref that is one-shot use (like PR tags), this does not
make much sense, but

    [remote "submaintainer1"]
	url = ... repository of submaintainer #1 ...
	fetch = master
	tagopts = --no-tags

is a reasonable thing to have for those who regularly work with
submaintainer(s) of their project.  They'd do

	$ git pull submaintainer1

to accept the work their submaintainers have done.

Thanks for the extra testing! I'll be sure to fix this bug in v2.
