Right now get_maintainer.pl returns "supporter" for maintained files which are denoted "S: Supported". Update get_maintainer to output "maintainer" for "S: Supported" the differentiation between paid (v) non-paid maintainers doesn't impact who needs to be mailed for patch submissions.

The reason for that is the path in MAINTAINERS is marked as Supported not Maintained. Reading MAINTAINERS we see quote: Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this. Maintained: Someone actually looks after it. The current submitting-patches.rst only says to mail maintainers though not supporters. Discussing further on the list the suggestion was made to state that the following are the right addresses to mail: - Maintainers - Supporters - Reviewers - Dedicated lists - LKML as a fallback when there is no dedicated list Add in a two sentences to capture that statement.
