Names below this line are automatically generated from the repository logs.  It 
contains the information about the committer that was publicly present when the 
commit was made.
So the information is periodically regenerated from the git commit data 
associated with the changes. Since the git commit history is immutable, you 
can't go back and retroactively replace existing e-mail addresses with other 
ones, even if that e-mail server is no longer valid.

I don't know who is responsible for re-generating that list; but I suspect when 
it is regenerated, any such local changes are overwritten in any case.

So as soon as you next commit with a new e-mail address, it will be appended to 
the existing list the next time it's run.
