i.e. as the sole thing, not as an addition to a company name:

    MODULE_AUTHOR("https://www.comedi.org");

Perhaps we could have a new key or similar for companies/entities, but
I am not sure if it is important, and we should probably do it in the
C side too in that case.

After all, we can get contact details from the Git log, `MAINTAINERS`, etc.

Cheers,
Miguel
