Read the whole message, please. It starts with:
"I noticed your checkins similar to this:"
It's not just this one package that was in question.
The link above leads to a thread that shows that author change was wrongly
enforced. As a result, many packages had author changed to ZF even when not
needed.
So, can we please stop changing authors.

P.S. Just for the record:
Gediminas asked at the time should he revert the change above
and I said: NO.
