I do not think it's a problem.

Did you get this from line 264 of the GPL?

  264  Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and
  paper mail. 

I personally forgot this several times, and for several project I know
thoses information are outdated (for instance, some code of my own
brother show his old address - he moved to a new flat a almost year
ago).

So if you cannot, don't.

Loic and Jaime, do you agree with that?
