Comment(by hakre):

 After another 42 hours, this still looks inconsistent to me. I have
 problems to verify what's said, because I've never seen @author tags
 removed prior to commit (which must be no surprise) while even today I
 stumbeled over @author in trunk (not taking external libraries into
 account if I remember correctly). Also the information of which authors
 ryan spoke is missing. Additionally the note in the codex page just has
 been removed. Just to recap the timeline:

 I will try to gather even more attention from the free software community
 to clarify the attribution/naming of authors issues regarding the status
 of the copyright and GPL. I think the more information there is, the
 better it is.

 From the projects I know of, which do not want to have author-credited-
 code inside their trunk, they communicate that upfront. I think that
 should be done in the wordrepss project as well if that is what is wanted
 so a contributer knows with what she/he has to deal with.

 Maybe it is a suggestion to let the names in there but remove the @author
 tags?
