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@lists.sourceforge.net
S:      Orphan
W:      http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/
F:      drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c

DENALI NAND DRIVER
L:      linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
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
