This is a bit of an unnecessary massive churn.  No one expects the
author named in the file to stay up to date, especially because the
@domain.com usually credits the company who paid for the code, so it's
left in as a kind of mark of respect for them.  I'm not saying it
applies in your case, just that it creates the common expectation of
in-file authors needing to be traced through the MAINTAINERS file.

Could you not just update the MAINTAINERS file only, like everyone else?
