The copyright holders should be tracked down rather than just putting
"Red Hat" there, which is most likely wrong. Not that copyright notices
anywhere else are much more complete, but they tend to be correct at
least when they are added (i.e. usually when the file is created), so
not updating them is the fault of the copyright holders that are
missing in the notice.

But anyway, it's unrelated to this patch in either case.
