MAINTAINERS covers these files, so the most common use of
get_maintainer.pl won't list anyone not listed there:
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f hw/i386/amd_iommu.[ch]
Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86)
Richard Henderson <r...@twiddle.net> (maintainer:X86)
Eduardo Habkost <ehabk...@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86)
"Michael S. Tsirkin" <m...@redhat.com> (supporter:PC)
Marcel Apfelbaum <marcel.apfelb...@gmail.com> (supporter:PC)
qemu-devel@nongnu.org (open list:All patches CC here)
David's contributions have aged out of --git:
$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f hw/i386/amd_iommu.[ch] --git
"Michael S. Tsirkin" <m...@redhat.com>
(supporter:PC,commit_signer:12/7=100%,commit_signer:10/5=100%)
Marcel Apfelbaum <marcel.apfelb...@gmail.com> (supporter:PC)
Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86)
Richard Henderson <r...@twiddle.net> (maintainer:X86,commit_signer:1/7=14%)
Eduardo Habkost <ehabk...@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86)

However, --git-blame still lists him:

--help admonishes:
Using "--git-blame" is slow and may add old committers and authors
that are no longer active maintainers to the output.

I don't think get_maintainer.pl supports a blacklist of people who don't
want to be pestered anymore.
