  When pushing patches to upstream, the `get_maintainer.pl` script is used to
determine whom to send the patches to. Instead of having to manually process
the output of the script, add a wrapper script to do that for you.

The add-maintainer.py script adds maintainers (and mailing lists) to a patch,
editing it in-place.

Thanks to Bjorn for being a sounding board to this idea and for his valuable
suggestions.

I referred to the following links during development of this script:
