Actually, the outreachy tutorial says not to send patches to mailing
lists, only to people (except in the case of IIO, where the maintainers
asked for patches to be sent to mailing lists as well).  The
get_maintainer command to use is shown here:

https://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch#submit_a_patch
That doesn't make any sense to me.
Mailing lists _should_ be copied on patch submissions.

And the displayed output of that command-line does not match
the actual behavior.

The command-line is:
$ perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl --separator , --nokeywords --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --nol -f drivers/staging/most/aim-sound/sound.c

And the output shown is:
Greg Kroah-Hartman [off-list ref],devel at driverdev.osuosl.org,linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org

That's not what's actually output by that command-line
as it would not show the mailing list.

$ perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl --separator , --nokeywords --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --nol -f drivers/staging/most/aim-sound/sound.c
Greg Kroah-Hartman [off-list ref]
