That email address is Jean Louis, that's why it's there.  I find it
confusing too.

I'm not convinced that a totally general moratorium would be good.  For
example, on this list a few days ago we talked about info-apropos.  John
Yates suggested binding it to a key in the C-h prefix.

I think something like that is fairly harmless.  Changing something two
prefixes away is likely to affect nobody (e.g. C-x 8 1).
