Will we keep their names? And, will we add new author names

When someone writes a file from scratch, we usually keep their name on
it so we remember the original author.
That's probably reasonable for a while. But the code drifts. I certainly
wouldn't object to my name being removed from initdb.c, after 7 years,
athough probably half the code or more is still mine.
