Examining source files shows that many if not most email addresses are out 
of date there - that they tend to show the address when a file was 
contributed rather than aiming to show a current one.

I'm inclined to say that source files should not be giving email addresses 
for contributors at all, that MAINTAINERS is the place to keep up-to-date 
addresses and that the ChangeLogs are the place to keep the address 
someone had when contributing a file or a change to a file.
