Resetting to v2020.10, patman works again with the above 2 commands.

Note the latest patman also throws an exception about commit tags
while the v2020.10 version did not.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./tools/patman/patman", line 177, in <module>
    control.send(args)
  File "./tools/patman/control.py", line 177, in send
    args.smtp_server)
  File "./tools/patman/control.py", line 136, in email_patches
    add_maintainers, limit)
  File "./tools//patman/series.py", line 264, in MakeCcFile

    raw += LookupEmail(item, alias, raise_on_error=raise_on_error)
  File "./tools//patman/gitutil.py", line 588, in LookupEmail
    raise ValueError(msg)
ValueError: Alias 'doc' not found
