I recall someone mentioned this, yes, but 1) this idea is stupid: instead of
removing bits of historical evidence, we should educate our users where to
look for correct maintainer address; 2) however, if we standardize Makefile
header in some way, I will happily follow the standard; 3) I understand your
rationale and not particularly against your commit; 4) I am also open for a
discussion.
