As said some days ago, the email address of David Kershner at unisys.com
is not anymore reachable. Each time I submit patches for this Unisys' 
driver I get the following message:

Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

David Kershner (david.kershner at unisys.com)
The email address you entered couldn't be found. 
Please check the recipient's email address and try to resend the message.

Is it the case to remove his entry from the MAINTAINERS file? I'm asking
because I don't yet know how these kinds of issues are handled. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Fabio M. De Francesco
