Appreciate the input. I will no longer be part of Renesas as of the end of this
week, so wanted to update the mailing list address before I leave. The actual
mailing list itself hasn't changed in terms of the people on it, aside from
myself dropping off of course.

I don't know if there will be changes to the maintenance of these files in the
future, but for now I wanted to ensure consistency (and a continued working
address) in the short term. If that's not acceptable though then another route
will need to be found.
