John Blum commented on GEODE-52:
--------------------------------
FTR... @author tags do not imply control or ownership, IMO. Responsibility !=
ownership and responsibility does not imply that only those individuals
identified in @author tags are solely "responsible" for the code. The problem
with source control systems (SVN, Git, etc) is they come and go. In addition,
user accounts for those systems are not necessarily universal or transferable.
Anyway, I have voiced my opinion on this matter and I am fine following
whatever process Apache feels is appropriate.
