   As has been mentioned in other threads, we cannot do this just based on the
   copyright name. We also need to look at the authorship of the files.  This
   needs to be done in a methodical way, there is some discussion on the wiki
   about going forward with this.
   
   Merging changes without doing this correctly makes it a lot harder to go
   back and verify.
