 Having it in MODULE_AUTHOR allow my scripts to automatically
 send an email when appropriate.

 MAINTAINERS lists the files with an arbitrary
 driver title so that the search must be made by an human and there's
 no field that links a person to a specific .c .

 so every time I want to address someone I need to check MODULE_AUTHOR,
 the git log and the MAINTAINERS file.
