If "Created by" was a minor thing then changing it should've been left to committer's discretion e.g., on substantial changes. Unfortunately, portmgr@ requires the original author consent as if it was a copyright but when asked how the importance was concluded the answer is a joke. > I make sure to run all my commits by the legal team. You can never be too careful, what with the cult we apparently now run. Like a broken record: "Why blue?" "Because we have a policy." "Where? Did you consult a domain expert?" "I don't want to go over it again. It was a minor thing." "Then why did you need a policy?" "Can never be too careful."
