Fine, no pressure either way.

Could you please send your Acked-by tag to this thread so it will get 
captured into this thread so the tools will capture it when I'm applying 
the patch (assuming you're okay with him becoming a co-maintainer with 
you, which I think is the case here :-)).

Hans, any thoughts?

My opinion is we remove that address, there's little point in keeping 
people around when they've stopped communicating years ago. For this 
driver it's easy, but that address also appears for samsung-laptop.c
which doesn't have another maintainer.
