author identification in source code?

I notice that some files have @author javadoc tags in them. Is this kosher?
I realize that Eclipse automatically adds this in many cases, and is probably not intentional.

Remove @author tags for all new files created by me, also updated my
eclipse preference to not include @author tag.

Thanks

In general, it's best to remove them... that's the SOP for
the vast majority of other ASF projects.

We discussed this briefly earlier [1].  I'd suggest we remove them.
git blame works better, and frankly it's problematic to try to keep them
up to date.
