Re: RFC: Properly stated origin of code contributions

I hate to spam this with possibly-tangential requests, but I also have a peeve: Can we get a standardized copyright/comment header across all our files? It seems as if every single file in the compiler (and RTS) has different header text, mentioning different people or groups, some from 10 years ago or more and others just recently added. This is somewhat related to this RFC but also somewhat not, I feel. Ideally it would be nice if we could have, say, an AUTHORS.txt file containing the names of all those people who have committed to GHC (essentially like 'git shortlog -sn' shows), which we would ask users to add their name into, and then if we could standardize all the headers to follow a known convention, and give boilerplate for people to copy.
