I find the explicit naming of each person too difficult to maintain and claim 
that it is already wrong for quite many files. I suggest to have a general 
preamble for each file and to have a file COPYING in the Dumux root folder that 
lists the names and time periods of each copyright holder. For an example of a 
COPYING file, see one of the Dune core modules. This would allow for easy 
maintenance, since one could check each half year the committers and adapt a 
single file. If no one objects, I would do this before 2.2.
