Hi Sebastian,

I personally do not fully agree with the arguments frequently given as
the rationale for not using @author tags. As far as I know there is no
official policy regarding the use of @author tags, so it is ultimately
up to individual projects to decide.

The issue was discussed before on this list and the outcome was to keep
@author tags but to require all new contributors who wish to have
authorship attribution in the source code to have a CLA on file. (1)
This ensures contributors may not claim copyright based on the fact they
are mentioned as co-authors of some components in an ASF owned project.
(2) The hassle of having to go though the trouble of filing a CLA should
also act as a rather significant discouragement for those folks who may
otherwise be tempted to ask for an @author entry based on submission of
a one-liner fix.

Folks, does this agreement still hold? Is it time we revisited the
decision?
