After proposing a change to Horizon to remove the @author tags from the header of Python files (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/126656/) Matthias Runge proposed to discuss this first on the mailing list.
Is it necessary to track the authorship of a file inside the file using @author tags? The copyright statement itself is unchanged and intact after the removal of the @author tags. The copyright statement is not addicted to the authorship of a file so it should be safe to remove the @author tags. The @author tag is not used in other projects. Neutron removed all @author tags some time ago and there are no @author tags e.g. in Nova, or Cinder. There are even local hacking checks in Nova, and Neutron to not use @author tags.
