I'm not sure this list is the best to answer this, adding in copy the KDE eV board in case they know about any such policy. Now i'm going into total guessing territory and just my opinion territory: * If the email was added as a way to add contact or give "visibility", just remove it * If the email was added as some way to do copyright claim, as far as I understand the copyright passed to after his death, so that person should be listed, or contacted and convinced to sign the KDE FLA on behalf of the deceased person? https://ev.kde.org/rules/fla/ Cheers, Albert > > This also brought up a different question for me - in KMyMoney's > index.docbook there are a number of entities for authors with a comment > that they have been added to contributor.entities in svn.
