An issue for that will be how multiple subsystem section matching
affects the output for reviewers who are also maintainers.

I think that's okay, becuase the 'MAINTAINERS tag' will be different.

As an example:

  Lee Jones [off-list ref] (supporter:DRIVER SUBSYSTEM)
  Lee Jones [off-list ref] (reviewer:VENDOR DRIVER NAME)

I'm pretty sure I know a little more about the
behavior of the get_maintainers script than you do.

Instead of this childishness, I'm guessing what you meant to say was;
unfortunately the current behaviour of the script is such that, if a
person is marked as a Reviewer and a Maintainer, the final one
mentioned in MAINTAINERS will take precedence over each of the others.
In other words, only one (the final) reference will be printed.

If so, thanks Joe that's informative, and yes, I can see how that
might cause issues in some cases.
