Hi! >> > It can sometimes tell you whom to ask for advice or reviews. (git >> log would too but it's more effort.)
I feel @author is a bit misleading in this case - if code is refactored/amended, original author that wrote it, possibly 10 years ago, may not be the best person to ask what's going on in it now. OTOH, the person who knows it best now may not be comfortable listing oneself as author of the code after just refactoring and amending it, not originally authoring it. Additionally, some @author clauses only list name or nick, without any contact information. If the person is still active in the project under the same name, it may be easy to track them, but if not, it's mostly hopeless. -- Stas Malyshev [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
