I think a long time ago we decided to remove the author tags, upto now nothing really happend :(
Yep. There was a positive vote (probably more than one actually), and since then nobody adds new @author tags, meaning the information is really not accurate.
What has stopped us is that we need to keep a track of these to give credit. And also show to the world the incredibly large developer group we are :-)
I want to go ahead and remove them from the portal block, so perhaps this is a motivation for others to do the same for other parts. Now my question is, where and how do I put the authors to give them the correct credits?
Let's for now extract the information in whatever form allows further processing (tab-separated or xml). We can then see how to present it later. IIRC Bertrand did something for this.
