+ and we remove all author tags
I find this just a little bit too reactionary - especially for the little known/used areas of code. We haven't had "ownership issues" because of them in the past, not? These tags sometimes help to find a contact, when questions remain unanswered on the list.
[RT]:
Will be enough to browse the CVS to find the folks involved in a concrete file or block? No, we cannot trace many files to the first post. The original file, who made changes, etc?
"When I started to use the auth-fw, the @author tags allow me to know the names of people that was involved in this. After this I also used the names to harvest the mailarchives looking for help about the auth-fw.
Yes, the author tag says something about who started the code, but nothing about how knows about that particular version of it and it creates copyright problems and increases spam.
+1 to remove them and +1 to pay back with our credits in the Changes/Credits page.
