While I agree with the general idea of that message, we could phrase
that a little differently I think, after seeing:

 $ git shortlog -s --author "Yuan Can <yuancan@...wei.com>"
     2  Yuan Can

The linux-mm list is currently fairly overloaded (lots of new material,
reviewers/maintainers having a hard time to catch up), which is why such
simple cleanups that could essentially be done semi-automatically by
tooling (coccinelle scripts ?) are not of general interest and rather an
unpleasant distraction for reviewers/maintainers.
