get_maintainer.pl sends bogus addresses to git send-email

For me sending patches via git send-email fails because email address conversion is failing. Something appends a ')' to x86/lkml@kernel.org. I suspect the double '))' in MAINTAINERS is confusing the command. I tried to send the trivial patch from v5.0 and v5.6 tag.

Is this a failure in ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl, or is this something git does internally? I'm sure others use such command on a daily basis, so likely something on my end became broken at some point in the past.
