The author information in the pom file is also redundant - it already exists in greater detail in the commit logs.

I thought we had settled on '@author Apache Software Foundation',
Did we? TBH I find that pretty pointless and nothing more than noise.
I'd be in favor of removing them all together.
I agree with Torsten.  I got stalled in DBCP/pool because at least
some ppl thought we needed to get permission from all of the long
gone @authors to nuke their tags.  Personally, I am ready to just
nuke 'em if others do not object.
I am +1 for nuking and +1 for documenting the "no @author tags" decision
+1, and done for Lang.
Btw:

for i in `find . -type f -name '*.java'`; do (echo 'g/@author/d'; echo
'w') | ed $i; done

and check with svn diff of course :)
sed -i -s -e '/@author/d' `find . -type f -name '*.java'`

SCNR :)
+1 to removing @author tags, but I think the removed names should be
added to the developer / contributor list or a readme file somewhere.
Even if their code has been completely replaced, they have
participated in the development of the component.
