There's already a system in place that tracks the changes and who made them. It's called svn :-) It's going to be far more accurate and complete than a system you maintain manually :-)

I'm +0 about it. I think it's nice to know who wrote a piece of code before you modify it, so you can ask a quick question to the author. The main example I can find in Trinidad is the use of Hashtable and Vector every now and then, was it because of the old 1.2 codebase or was synchronization required? A simple mail to the author would have answered that question. Then again, I can see Craig's point as well as ASF concerns. The best compromise I can find is maintaining a history of changes in the Javadoc with the author names, but I really don't think many of us (starting with me) will have the patience to keep such a thing up-to-date, hence the +0.
