Good we are on the same page. Let me be specific on this issue I am facing. For
the RFC patch I posted yesterday http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/580577/, if I
run script/get_maintainer.pl,

$ perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl

In this list, Haikun Wang is no longer with Freescale/NXP. Since he is not a
maintainer, there is nothing to fix. His address is in the commit history and
nothing can/should be done to change that.

I understand this issue is related to my SMTP server which checks local
recipients before accepting emails. I can't be the only one having this trouble.

It is not a huge deal if this can't be fixed. I asked to see if there is a quick
fix.
