Hi Rusty. Following up the recent MODULE_MAINTAINER discussion: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/4/170 that concluded with MODULE_MAINTAINER not being a good idea, here's a small patch that just deletes the advice of including an email address in the MODULE_AUTHOR tag as suggested (and not objected to) at the end of it. The email address is the problem I was trying to fix; with multiple current and non-current authors and maintainers who might not even be authors the address(es) available from the tag confuse the issue of whom to contact. It's moreover also information that easily outdated. A bit more than half of the tags in the tree don't include an email address already and I'll submit patches removing more... Rene.
