Documentation: fix two typos in latest update to the security report howto
In previous patch "Documentation: clarify the mandatory and desirable
info for security reports" I left two typos that I didn't detect in local
checks. One is "get_maintainers.pl" (no 's' in the script name), and the
other one is a missing closing quote after "Reported-by", which didn't
have effect here but I don't know if it can break rendering elsewhere
(e.g. on the public HTML page). Better fix it before it gets merged.

In the Linux kernel, all official maintainers are trusted, so the consequences of accidentally including the wrong maintainer are essentially a bit more noise for that person, i.e. nothing dramatic.
