Thats a truth. Why would you want to remove this line, this sounds very bad. What you probably want is a change in MAINTAINERS file to reflect who maintains atl1c at this moment and how to reach them by email. Notes: - Its also possible to add a new MODULE_AUTHOR() line - You could remove the obsolete email address and keep Jie Yang name as in : MODULE_AUTHOR("Jie Yang");
