As a general comment, the ASF discourages the use of @author tags. You can
always find out the exact authorship (at least wrt to recent history) through
git, so it's one less thing to try to maintain but also there is a subtle
aspect of reinforcing community ownership of the whole codebase. We are trying
to keep this policy for new commits though we haven't so far deemed it
important to systematically remove them from existing code. The idea is to
instead add any significant contributors to the pomconfigurer.gradle file. When
cleaning up existing files, if you think the @author tags are out of date, feel
free to remove them - make sure everyone removed is in the pomconfigurer.gradle
file. This wouldn't apply to third-party files which we'd try not to touch as
much as possible.
