That would seem an appropriate thing to do. SPF is not compatible with SMTP email as we know it today; it would requires the whole world to upgrade to make its flawed assumptions come true. We should not list email addresses in MAINTAINERS which are afflicted by it. For what it's worth, I recently changed all instances of one of my personal email addresses in the kernel, for precisely the same reason -- it's SPF-afflicted, and hence has no business being present in a form which cause people to expect that it's a normal, compatible email address. -- dwmw2
