The ASF policy is well known [1] and I think @author information is no longer
helpful in any case.

In preparation towards graduation I am planning to remove author tags from
all source files.
GEODE-52 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-52>, has some
discussions whether we should or shouldn`t remove them.
I would like to restart the discussion and get a fresh consensus from the
community.
Find below some of the reasons why ASF is against the author tags:
- Attributions in source files are not up to date.
- Software is a team effort.
- ASF sells the code base as an ASF brand.
- Shield against law-suits.
