For what it's worth, Linus merged the patch removing the advice to include 
an email address in the MODULE_AUTHOR comment:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=108f39a1b3b1e4b28ca8cc156f06171445499d21

He was aware of Alan's objection. Removing existing ones is ofcourse not 
quite the same as not introducing new ones though so ofcourse still up to 
you. I'm still signing off on it...

Rene.
