I think your script is broken as there are multiple subdirectories
for this entry and   

Quite the opposite, the script intentionally only counts contributions
only to the code under the MAINTAINERS entry. People lose interest and
move on to working on other parts of the kernel (or maybe were never
that interested in maintaining something in the first place?). 

We want to list folks who are likely to give us reviews.

Felix is active.  

Which I tried to state in the commit message as well :)  

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm going to submit a bunch of work on
this driver in the near future.
The patches have already been written, just need a bit more time for
testing/review.

Great, I'll drop this patch from the series. 

Thanks!
