Could you draft up a standard-header as a suggestion somewhere, maybe on the Wiki? The current situation is suboptimal, as it's unclear where the threshold for adding yourself as an author to a module header is (whitespace/indentation cleanups, fixing/writing docs, removing lines, adding a 5-line function in a 500 line module, ...?), and it's a bit unfair to those that have contributed far more to a module but haven't bothered to add themselves to the module header. So I'd welcome a standard approach. Would there be a single AUTHORS file for the code in ghc.git, or multiple ones (one for the compiler proper, one for base, ghc-prim, template-haskell, integer-*, ...?)
