Shall, I tell him to take the notices,
from the original file and add it along with his copyright to the
files he edited, and leave out the other files?
That sounds like the clearest outcome.
Additionally, he claims to need the lua config file customized for his
specific environment. I would think he should not distribute those.
Is it problematic somehow, if he wants to?
>From sv-problem-copyright-holder
Is the copyright holder referred to in the copyright notices, a legal
entity that can be
assigned copyright? If not, you need to add the author(s)' name(s) instead.
What exactly is meant by "add the author(s)' name(s) instead".

as opposed to something like
Copyright 2009 Eplain Project Team
where "Eplain Project Team" has no legal existence. Lots of projects
would like to do this, but it's legally meaningless to say it, so far as
I know.
I've found some files, which will say something like "By Who Ever".
If you mean literally "By Who Ever", clearly that's meaningless.
Thanks for all your work.
