I am curious, what's the point?
These email addresses serve a "historical" purpose: they tell when the contribution was made, what the author's email addresses
were at that point.
.. and which company owns the copyright.
VERITAS doesn't own any copyright of the microcode driver because I wrote
it _before_ I joined VERITAS.
Lets not remove historical email addresses. Just make sure there's a
current one in MODULE_AUTHOR / MAINTAINERS.
I agree, so I should have included in the patch the change to
MODULE_AUTHOR (in both microcode and bfs).
Or maybe MODULE_AUTHOR shouldn't contain the email address, if the module
is mentioned in the MAINTAINERS which does contain it? Why repeat the data
and so have to remember to maintain it?
Kind regards
Tigran
