[PATCH net-next] Add Jeff Kirsher to .get_maintainer.ignore

Posted by Jakub Kicinski 1 year, 9 months ago

Jeff was retired as the Intel driver maintainer in
commit 6667df916fce ("MAINTAINERS: Update MAINTAINERS for
Intel ethernet drivers"), and his address bounces.
But he has signed-off a lot of patches over the years
so get_maintainer insists on CCing him.

We haven't heard from him since he left Intel, so remapping
the address via mailmap is also pointless. Add to ignored
addresses.
