I thought that this issue had been addressed, but I can't find the

Thus, I'm asking to vote on this issue.
Do you want that all @author tags and all reference to authors of
source code files be removed from the files themselves? The
information about the authors will still be present in commit
messages and in the site credits.
I assume this is a majority vote..
-1.
Author info is frequently useful. Code moves around, and CVS histories
get lost.
Besides, I believe we're all adult enough not to let @author tags get in
the way of community code ownership.
Why taks the risk?
That assumes we are childlike.
Moreover, given the above points, it seems that author tags are not
needed, and serve only for recognition. In a community project
recognition is not based on how many author tags there are, so...
Well, I do want to interject that I got a publishing deal because of my
Author recognition. I am now a -0 on this approach. If I see an
argument that I resonate with completely, I will switch to a full -1.
