I don't really see how mentioning a few names of people who happen to
be mentioned in the headers of files really helps Debian much. There
are lots of other contributors to this package (include the current
maintainer) that aren't listed in those headers.

Debian Policy § 12.5 is not so specific to make this particular case
an RC issue. The severity of this issue isn't very important (since
it's already fixed in the VCS) except that it prevented newer versions
from reaching Testing which I consider to be a more important issue.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
