Makes sense at least WRT the "problematic" modules. include/linux/module.h says: /* Author, ideally of form NAME <EMAIL>[, NAME <EMAIL>]*[ and NAME <EMAIL>] */ #define MODULE_AUTHOR(_author) MODULE_INFO(author, _author) I think we should get rid of the "EMAIL" comments: /* Author, ideally of form FULL NAME [, FULL NAME ]*[ and FULL NAME] */ #define MODULE_AUTHOR(_author) MODULE_INFO(author, _author) I'd rather let the respective maintainers/authors take care of "their" MODULE_AUTHOR entries (though the removal seems sane for me personally). > I'd prefer that; unlike the name, the adress is information that can > get outdated Right > and moreover, removing the address not only from the > modinfo output but from the source directly means it can't be mistaken > for a contact address there either.
