Ian, Andreas, Emilien,

My sentiments on the subject of these kinds of "production line" changes is 
unchanged from [1] and [2]. A complete list of these changes is at [3].

I've updated all of the changes in this thread with a block comment and a -1. 
My apologies to other reviewers (and active contributors in those projects) for 
this automated comment across 131 commits. 

It is high time we eliminated these kinds of changes which do little to improve 
the overall quality of the product and serve merely to generate a huge amount 
of pointless work on the CI systems, and boost some meaningless statistics that 
someone wants to put on a slide someplace.

If that's the goal - to standardize - then I would expect that we move
all the documentation out of those files in one place.

Right now, the changes duplicate information that exists - and the new
information is often wrong. It points to place that do not exist or
where better places exist. ;(


I'm fine with the status quo - of using the two files that you mention.
Having contribution information is important,

Andreas
