Subject: module_author: don't advise putting in an email address
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=108f39a1b3b1e4b28ca8cc156f06171445499d21;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

module_author: don't advise putting in an email address

module_author: don't advise putting in an email address

It's information that's easily outdated and easily mistaken for a driver
contact which is a problem especially for modules with multiple current and
non-current authors as well as for modules with a maintainer who may not
even be a module author.
