get_maintainer: add commit author information to --rolestats
get_maintainer currently uses "Signed-off-by" style lines to find
interested parties to send patches to when the MAINTAINERS file does not
have a specific section entry with a matching file pattern.
Add statistics for commit authors and lines added and deleted to the
information provided by --rolestats.
These statistics are also emitted whenever --rolestats and --git are
selected even when there is a specified maintainer.
This can have the effect of expanding the number of people that are shown
as possible "maintainers" of a particular file because "authors",
"added_lines", and "removed_lines" are also used as criterion for the
--max-maintainers option separate from the "commit_signers".
The first "--git-max-maintainers" values of each criterion
are emitted. Any "ties" are not shown.
For example: (forcedeth does not have a named maintainer)
