[U-Boot] A list of dead email addresses of board maintainers

Hello.
When I CC board maintainers, it sometimes results in bounce mails.
How should we modify boards.cfg? Delete the email? Or just mark as "dead address" ?
I noticed at least the following email addresses are dead: yuli@arabellasw.com travis.sawyer@sandburst.com yusdi_santoso@adaptec.com dave@cray.com dogoil@etinsys.com eran@nbase.co.il avorontsov@ru.mvista.com u-boot-devel@blackfin.uclinux.org bluetechnix@blackfin.uclinux.org
The folloings are the snippet of returned mail notifier.

Hello Masahiro-san,

This hooks into the recent discussion about when we can remove unsupported boards. The concensus there was to mark those boards as unmaintained and keep the e-mail as "last working e-mail address". Deleting the e-mail means loosing important information. Even though the accounts do not work anymore, they carry information.
Cheers Detlev
