Can we abandon the practice of putting names inside files themselves? I see this practice in JavaScript and PHP files throughout core (grep for @author). As Team Geek [2] says "unlike other collaborative pieces of creative work... software keeps changing even after it's "done". So while listing contributors credits at the end of a movie is a safe and static thing, attempting to add and remove names from a source file is a never-ending exercise in insanity".
For similar reasons this practice gives an impression of ownership of a file/code review responsibilities (which are not always true) and risks hurt feelings.
My suggestion is we remove any @author lines from any script file in the codebase.
