-------------------------------------------
Sebb, indeed fine points. Agreed too, +1 for not automatically adding credit to
every contributor.
Matt,

Good point too. Here's a list of contributors that used @author tags, but are
not mentioned in the POM:
- id=<empty>, name=Jason Horman, [email protected]
- id=<empty>, name=Herve Quiroz, email=<empty>
> (...) , but rather move it (to the POM).
So, should someone talk to these authors and check if they would like to have
their information included in the POM. before we remove the @author tags?
FWIW, I've created a simple maven plugin (code at [1]) to help in this issue.
It lists the authorship of a maven project. Here's the sample report produced
(very basic) by this plugin

Thanks!
