Okay, let's get serious about it. I set up the following wiki page for
coordination:

This says:
use the following git command to get a list of authors:
git log --format:"%an<%ae>" -- file.c
which (apart from having a typo) only lists the people who were
the git commit authors. This isn't the same as everybody who might
have copyright on the change. There are certainly commits in the
omap support which have gone through several people (listed in
the Signed-off-by: lines) who all have copyright-authorship even
if they're not git-commit-authors.
Yes, also just to get it written somewhere: the list of copyright
holders is merely indicative.
Anyway, unfortunately this is, I think, a lost battle. For linux-user
there's too much Linux kernel code. It would still be nice to not
introduce more GPLv2-only code, but don't hold your breath...
