My understanding is that we don't change it after it is committed.
Apparently I misunderstood it. It's not documented as
being invariant. As I understood it, it's referring
to a person, not a state of his identity. I.e. if a
person changes name and/or e-mail address, the header
may be updated.
Another questi1on I would like to ask here is: are we
changing headers after repocopies? I always thought
that for historical purposes they should be left
unchanged, but many after-repocopy commits change
them to refer to the new maintainers.
