Two comments:
- there are references of a previous name for the script,
%s/notify_expired_symbols.py/notify-symbol-maintainers.py/g

- and a reminder for the empty report that we received yesterday.
I think this can be reproduced with:

$ DPDK_GETMAINTAINER_PATH=devtools/get_maintainer.pl
devtools/notify-symbol-maintainers.py --format-output terminal <<EOF
> mapfile,expired (v21.08,v19.11),contributor name,contributor email
