But I think that we should no longer add any author fields using that. Things with that are from way back in the day (when RfL was still out of tree) where many people contributed to a single file, hence the use of that phrase. > Unless you guys tell me otherwise, I guess this is not so priority. Yeah this isn't high priority. We can just make this into a good-first-issue, then someone can eventually pick it up. --- Cheers, Benno
