Code Authoring

The decision to remove @author tags from source code is a debated issue in open source communities. While some projects, such as Apache, enforce their removal to emphasize collective contribution over individual recognition, this can diminish incentives for developers who seek acknowledgment for their work. As Alexander Saint Croix argued in 2004, stripping authorship from source code can erase contributors from history, reducing the visibility of their efforts and potentially discouraging participation.

Nevertheless, we believe such tags are often unwanted noise, as API users typically do not care which specific individual wrote a given part of the code. Maintaining a clean codebase that highlights collective ownership is our priority. At the same time, we are required—due to external necessity—to list authors. Therefore, rather than placing these acknowledgments in the source code, we have opted to provide them here in our documentation.
