We do have VCS for history, and I trust VCS far much than the actual 
file content, largely due to cut'n'paste practice. I'd be really 
surprised if Serge and Olivier were the only authors for those files, 
and if they were the authors of only 4 modules among the 69 ones 
comprising current Sympa distribution. That's not information, that's 
just noise.

Also, we don't care about who is the author of a given file, but who is 
the author of a given piece of code. It does make sense to keep a 
file-based list only for external contributors, who contributed a 
specific part of Sympa's code, such as the plugin infrastructure 
contributed by M. Overmeer. Not for people involved into the wole 
software project, as its past and current authors.
