When contributing to an ASF project, it's governed by the terms of the ASF
ICLA: https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf or CCLA:
https://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.pdf

I don't believe ASF projects ever retain an original author copyright
statement, but rather source files have a statement like:

...
 * Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more
 * contributor license agreements.  See the NOTICE file distributed with
 * this work for additional information regarding copyright ownership.
...

While it's conceivable that such a statement could live in a NOTICE file, I
don't believe that's been done for any of the thousands of other
contributors. That's really more for noting the license of
non-Apache-licensed code. Code directly contributed to the project is
assumed to have been licensed per above already.

It might be wise to review the CCLA with Twilio and consider establishing
that to govern contributions.
