I am getting an increased amount of private support inquiries about the
uuid-ossp contrib module, probably because my name appears in the
documentation for it. I would remove it, so people use the normal
mailing lists for that. Are other modules similarly affected?
We don't have names in any of the other chapters, so perhaps we should
remove all the names?

Why not just remove the email address, and keep the name?

What makes the contrib modules different from all the other parts of the
system in that they need the specific author listed? Other authors are
just listed in the release notes...
