Sorry, you're right: the "S:" line of the entry must be changed to
"S: Orphan".

However,I'm not sure why you also want to drop the "L:" line. I see
that many "orphaned" entries have their "L:" line still there.

A couple of examples:

CONEXANT ACCESSRUNNER USB DRIVER
L: accessrunner-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S: Orphan
W: http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/
F: drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c

DENALI NAND DRIVER
L: linux-mtd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S: Orphan
F: drivers/mtd/nand/raw/denali*

I'll send a v2 patch. Can you please confirm that you want me to drop
also the "L:" line?

Thanks,

Fabio M. De Francesco
