About docs, I completely agree. I didn't have to spend long in the git
logs to realise that it just wasn't feasible to meaningfully identify
contributors -- there's too much moving, renaming, copy-pasting, etc.

I think with code it has more value, and ought to be reasonably easy to
maintain. There's also the fact that the code, unlike the docs, _does_
contain per-file copyright notices, and that these are wrong. If we're
going to have them, they ought to be accurate.
