Hi, the problem is that the upstream maintainer, the contact information and the original authors can be different persons. It is an established practice to list upstream maintainers or contact information in debian/copyright, but my personal opinion is that there are betters containers for this information, that hopefully can be shared across distributions. Nevertheless, listing the original authors does not give an accurate information about who currently develops a program, and who to contact.
