There is multiple issues with the genaration of maintainer string It uses DEBEMAIL and EMAIL enviroment variables, which may contain angle brackets, creating invalid maintainer strings. The documented KBUILD_BUILD_USER and KBUILD_BUILD_HOST variables are not used. Undocumented and uncommon NAME variable is used. Refactor the Maintainer string to: - use EMAIL or DEBEMAIL directly if they are in form "name <user@host>" - use KBUILD_BUILD_USER and KBUILD_BUILD_HOST if set before falling back to autodetection - no longer use NAME variable or the useless Anonymous string The logic is switched from multiline if/then/fi statements to compact shell variable substition commands.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
