I'm not really sure why you even need to ask. I removed the @author tags from the vast majority of the files when they were first added to 2.0.
You brought up this very discussion a year ago almost to the day (OK - a year and a week or two). The only person who was against removing author tags was Ceki. My position was that we should leave 1.x alone but 2.0 was OK since it was almost a complete rewrite, although we did start from some code that came from 1.x. If you look at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-163 you will see that I instructed Remko to remove the author tags from the async stuff he was adding. All told I see only a handful of files left that have author tags and most of them are sample files I brought over from some test code I have at work that were generated by an application we have, so they have "@author generated" in them. Other than that I see 6 classes that have @author tags in them, all of which I believe should have been removed.
