This is valid point, but it would be also nice if you guys will be able
to keep our discussions in friendly climate. This is not lkml, right? ;-)

Well, I miss the header. It's fine (and it's recommended) to add your
copyright to header. I personally prefer git to record history than
use file header for this purpose, but I have no strong opinion for
this. More important is to have nice man pages with usable content.

Note that in code I sometimes add my name and date to the comment
before some important code block. Maybe you can use the same in man
pages.  For example add a comment before man page section rather than
use man page header for this purpose.
