Apache Forrest follows that recommendation. Prior to each
release we scan the code to detect any license issues
and any author tags.
Om that case how about removing the developers section from status.xml
DTD (we can still see who applied a patch or addition in the SVN logs if
necessary).
Or make it optional. At the moment i am just working
around that like this:
org.apache.forrest.plugin.dtdx-input/status.xml
status
developers
person name=Volunteer needed email=dev@forrest.apache.org id=open/
/developers
changes
release version=0.1 date=unreleased
action dev=DC type=add context=admin
Initial plugin, moving stuff out of forrest core.
/action
...
We can still use the committer's initials in the changelog.
In addition we should consider removing the author tag from
the document.xml 2.0 DTD
It is already optional, so no need to remove it.
Anyway, other people might be using these DTDs
and they might want the author tags.
