We get at least one fix a week where author adds a Fixes tag

When we ask they usually reply with "but I run get_maintainer -f,
isn't that what I'm supposed to do?".

Bah. I think you're blaming entirely the wrong people, and the wrong tool.

Your complaint seems to be "we got a fix, it even says what commit it
is fixing, and the tool that the person ran didn't add the right
people automatically".

And my reaction is "I use that tooling, I want it to do exactly what
it does right now, why are you blaming that tool"?

You're already using 'patchwork'. Why don't you instead go "Oh, *that*
tool isn't doing the right thing?"
