The smartass reply is, "authorship and ownership are two different
things." :) It's not an @owner tag, or a @currentmaintainer tag, is it?

myself as an author.
If you've touched so much of the code, why don't you then remove the
other authors? They no longer have any relevance in the actual
authorship of the current file...
I am totally uncertain as to what the @authorship really signifies
or what the benefit of it is.
