You seem to think that the Contributed-by line exists in order to keep Sun's lawyers happy. It doesn't. Sun's lawyers actually know nothing about it. We defined the line in order to give credit to non-author contributors in a visible and permanent way. We could equally well have called it the "Thank-you" line, but we didn't. As a changeset author you're free to list anyone whom you think worthy of credit in the Contributed-by line. Is the problem here that you assumed otherwise? If so then we just need to improve the documentation.
Mark, Martin, I'm happy, that there is some discussion about this subject. :-)
I never have seen such a "Contributed-by" line. Do you think about something like? :
/** * ... * @author Mark Reinold * @contributor Ulf Zibis */ -Ulf
