I'm not excited about this patch (automatically adding copyright statements), and am unsure whether I'd want to accept it even if it were fixed. The point of copyright statements is for authors to assert their interest, so far as I can see, and each author really should have control over his/her own copyright statements. As Trent points out, the statements aren't needed, and I'd rather not add contributor's name to a given file unless that contributor requests it be added. But it certainly doesn't make sense to go in without removing duplicates, etc, and concatenating together contributions from multiple years.
