I don't disagree. However, if nothing else I think it gets used as a
part of get_maintainers.pl that tells you who to email about changes
doesn't it? It might make sense in my case since I am still
maintaining it using my gmail account, but I think the commits for
that were mostly from my Intel account weren't they? So if nothing
else it might be a way to provide a trail of breadcrumbs on how to
find a maintainer who changed employers..
