The sign-off is a short form for the "Developer's Certificate of
Origin 1.1" (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches in your Linux kernel
tree). It is your veryown signature, not some anonymous company mail
address where nobody can be made responsible for.

Feel free to add some generic address to the MAINTAINERS file -
that's ok. But it is you as a person who is signing the postings. So
it has to be your own (current) mail address.

If needed, we will track you down later ;-)

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
