Subject: Re: Getting rid of author tags:
OK. So we agree that contributions via patches become credits in svn
commit messages and in the changes file.
What should we do with the currently existing authors?
Most of the tags name Apache members, these are not a problem. But
some of them came into code with the initial import. I don't have an
idea what these authors really did and when.
Is it enough to mention in changes.xml "Refactoring and clean up of
code written by: x, y, z"
Hi Christian,
Lets hold off on this whilst we debate with Ceki.
At the end, it is up to you to decide. As mentioned in LOGPHP-1, I
will not be standing on your way regardless of your decision. Just
keep in mind that removing author tags has drawbacks. It would be more
respectful of past contributors to leave the author tags as is. Place
yourself for a second in the shoes of past authors...
