Dropping an email from the copyright line makes sense; dropping the
Copyright declaration altogether is a bit odd (the GPL works only in
tandem with a copyright assertion) - but as you are the author of the
line and copyright holder of your contributions, I am not in a position
to say you are wrong in removing it, only that it looks odd.

Yeah, indeed.

David, also note that you probably have been addressed because 
scripts/get_maintainer.pl will look into the git history of files that some 
patch addresses and pick up significant and/or recent contributors from there. 
There should be some opt-out statement from that, but I don't recall how.

MAINTAINERS covers these files, so the most common use of
get_maintainer.pl won't list anyone not listed there:

    $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f hw/i386/amd_iommu.[ch]
    Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86)
    Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> (maintainer:X86)
    Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86)
    "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com> (supporter:PC)
    Marcel Apfelbaum <marcel.apfelbaum@gmail.com> (supporter:PC)
    qemu-devel@nongnu.org (open list:All patches CC here)

David's contributions have aged out of --git:

    $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f hw/i386/amd_iommu.[ch] --git
    "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com> (supporter:PC,commit_signer:12/7=100%,commit_signer:10/5=100%)
    Marcel Apfelbaum <marcel.apfelbaum@gmail.com> (supporter:PC)
    Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86)
    Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> (maintainer:X86,commit_signer:1/7=14%)
    Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86)
    Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> (commit_signer:6/7=86%,commit_signer:4/5=80%)
    Brijesh Singh <brijesh.singh@amd.com> (commit_signer:5/7=71%,commit_signer:4/5=80%)
    "Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org> (commit_signer:1/7=14%)
    Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> (commit_signer:1/5=20%)
    qemu-devel@nongnu.org (open list:All patches CC here)

However, --git-blame still lists him:

    $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f hw/i386/amd_iommu.[ch] --git-blame
    Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86,commits:7/24=29%)
    Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> (maintainer:X86)
    Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> (maintainer:X86,commits:7/24=29%)
    "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com> (supporter:PC,commits:26/24=100%,commits:14/8=100%)
    Marcel Apfelbaum <marcel.apfelbaum@gmail.com> (supporter:PC)
    David Kiarie <davidkiarie4@gmail.com> (authored lines:1176/1645=71%,authored lines:274/373=73%)
    Brijesh Singh <brijesh.singh@amd.com> (authored lines:403/1645=24%,authored lines:93/373=25%,commits:4/8=50%)
    Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> (commits:10/24=42%,commits:4/8=50%)
    David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (commits:7/24=29%)
    Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> (commits:1/8=12%)
    Prasad J Pandit <pjp@fedoraproject.org> (commits:1/8=12%)
    qemu-devel@nongnu.org (open list:All patches CC here)

--help admonishes:

  Using "--git-blame" is slow and may add old committers and authors
      that are no longer active maintainers to the output.

I don't think get_maintainer.pl supports a blacklist of people who don't
want to be pestered anymore.

Ah!

    get_maintainer.pl: add .get_maintainer.ignore file capability
    
    Some people prefer not to be cc'd on patches.  Add an ability to have a
    file (.get_maintainer.ignore) with names and email addresses that are
    excluded from being listed except when specifically listed as a maintainer
    in a section.

Can we resync with the kernel's script to get this feature?  Or should
we cherry-pick it?
