get_maintainer.pl: find maintainers for removed files
For removed files, get_maintainer.pl doesn't find any maintainers (besides
the default [email protected]), as it only looks at the "+++"
lines, which are "/dev/null" for removals. Fix this by extending the
parsing to the "---" lines.
E.g. for the two line test patch below the real score maintainers will now
be found:
