Yup, with a decent version control system the ChangeLog file will be redundant.

The authors file is for mapping the author tags in the CVS repo to git
commiter name and email during CVS to git conversion.  Git doesn't
require the email addresses to be real addresses, so anything could be
used.  Though, most other git projects use real email addresses and a
lot of CVS projects use real emali addresses in ChangeLogs. I guess,
if you're working in open source, obfuscating email addresses is a
lost cause... the spammers will get your email anyway, and obfuscating
just makes it harder to work with. *shrug*
