Hello, 
according to bash sources(AUTHORS file), authors of bash built-in echo
are Brian Fox, Chet Ramey. As coreutils echo is derived from bash
builtin echo, I guess those authors should be used instead of FIXME
unknown. Patch fixing echo authors is attached. This problem has been
reported at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/175111 .

Anyway - there is still one file with FIXME unknown author - basename. 
I tried to find out the author, but I think I don't have enough
informations to google it. Any idea? It would be good to get rid off
those FIXME unknown authors.

Greetings,
         Ondrej Vasik
