I would recommend never trying to update email addresses.  The kernel
history is full of addresses that are no longer valid.
Discussion of patches should happen on lists, and interested parties
should subscribe to the lists.  If someone wants to particularly see
emails sent to some old address of their's it should be easy enough to
add some filtering.  If you particularly want to contact the author of
some old patch, it is unlikely to take to much searching to find a valid
address (just ask on the email list - someone is bound to know).

Bounces are a little bit annoying, but so is spam - we just learn ways
to deal with it.

For this particular patch I've restored the addresses from the original
patch, even though I know some of them are no longer valid.  They were
valid when the review was done, and the effectively give credit to the
company which paid for the review.  I won't bother the rest though.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
