No, I think that's not necessary. Exploders and aliases are just fine for M: entries. The alias/exploder address can still get stale though. Ideally, there would also be a specific actual person listed too. btw: maybe these L: addresses could/should change BROADCOM BRCMSTB GPIO DRIVER M: Gregory Fong <[email protected]> L: [email protected] BROADCOM KONA GPIO DRIVER M: Ray Jui <[email protected]> L: [email protected] BROADCOM STB NAND FLASH DRIVER M: Brian Norris <[email protected]> M: Kamal Dasu <[email protected]> L: [email protected] L: [email protected] SECURE DIGITAL HOST CONTROLLER INTERFACE (SDHCI) Broadcom BRCMSTB DRIVER M: Al Cooper <[email protected]> L: [email protected] L: [email protected]
