I was going by David's related comment where he said the file had not changed in seven years: id:[email protected]. So, it is not maintained as an authoritative list of copyright holders, as is typical in fastidiously maintained GNU software (i.e. those projects fully subscribing to the FSF standards). See https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Recording-Contributors.html Personally, I think this is fine. In the era of reliable DVCS that keep revision history forever and have commands like git-annotate, AUTHORS files in the GNU tradition are probably obsolete. But, I'm not a lawyer. :-) _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list [email protected] https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
