Hi all, 

Brian, 

* the dev-guide doc was already updated in that PR, or do I miss smth? 
* Does anybody else want the AUTHORS file be updated with smth like "To see the 
list of contributors run `git shortlog -sne` command?
Personally, I think it's not needed. 
* ok, I will do it for pulp 2 and 3, as soon as we agree on the previous point. 

Thanks all, 
Irina

Subject: Re: [Pulp-dev] remove AUTHORS

+1 to removing AUTHORS. I left some requests on the issue: 

* update some of the necessary docs 
* replace the AUTHORS content docs for the git shortlog -sne command 
* to do it for both pulp2 and pulp3.

I like Austin's point about getting to specify contact info for a specific 
project as I have different emails for different types of contributions myself, 
but I don't want to have to update things in multiple places down the road when 
I can just keep track of my listed contact details in my github settings. The 
same goes for someone who wants privacy and doesn't want their email listed or 
someone who has changed their name. I created the AUTHORS file for pulp_file 
recently and had misgivings about whether each of these contributors would have 
chosen to have the info I put together as their representative contact info, 
especially since we squashed down to one name and email which involves making 
some assumptions. 

I also like Irina's points about redundancy with GitHub's tracking of 
contributors (though that's a very specific thing that excludes merge commits, 
and for instance, I have made contributions to pulp through PRs and my name is 
not listed there), and more importantly, inaccurate and out of date info when 
hardcoded. 

I'm +1 to this PR to remove AUTHORS files moving forward.

One reason to keep the AUTHORS file is that it allows contributors to specify 
their contact info instead of just linking to their GitHub page, were they 
might not have an email listed. 

I assume this discussion is restricted to pulp/pulp. The plugins are free to 
handle however they prefer. 

Personally, I am fine either way. Remove +0, one less file.

Hello Pulp Team, 

Recently, I have opened a PR to remove the AUTHORS file [1], and was suggested 
to bring it up here. 
Please let us/me know what you think about it. Any feedback will be 
appreciated. 

Happy Wednesday, 
Irina
