When are you planning to merge?  If you intend to do this soon, I need to 
scramble to figure out a plan for how I'm going to juggle all the changes we 
can't release until after February.

Using the same boilerplate copyright notice everywhere is the most convenient 
approach, if that is acceptable to your guys.  We have some files that have an 
additional "This file copyright [blah]" under the boilerplate, and for the 
bits where [blah] was me or someone I knew well, I changed that to \author 
notes in the Doxygen comments in the class headers instead.  I can't dictate 
terms on how to reassign copyright, but if I get to pick, I'd vote for 
something like:

\author Douglas McGilvray, Centre for Music Technology, blah

Add as many as you deem appropriate.

Either way, yes, add them to the authors page.  The source is in a module in 
SVN called "website," or you can just send a patch and I'll deal with it.
