Hi,

I'd like to propose that we instate a rule of not allowing any kind of author 
info in the codebase.

I don't think it adds any value, and it gets awkward when refactoring 
contributed code with author attributions. At what point is it right to remove 
it? By never having it in there we don't have that problem.

I'd like to:

1. Remove all the @author tags and similar
2. Add a checkstyle rule to error on @author tags
3. Update CONTRIBUTING.md to ask people not to submit pull requests with it on
