I don't know if it's relevant, but I recall that back in the early 2000's around the time of the adoption of the ASL 2.0 (when I was contributing to Ant) the ASF had us stop using @author tags in code. I was not a fan at the time, but they had some reason I don't fully recall relating to shielding the contributors in the event of someone hitting a bug and then trying to sue folks to recover losses or something. I wonder if that logic still exists, and if this could be seen as related to that. It's also possible that this memory has severely mutated while hanging out in the back of my brain for 20 year :).
