   I don't think there's an official policy against author comments, but it's certainly a discouraged practice. The version control system is much better than author comments in tracking down people who know a particular piece of code best, and explicit author comments go against the principle of the project community being jointly responsible for the entire codebase. Some projects maintain a CONTRIBUTORS file or include thanks to all contributors in release notes, both of which practices are much better than author comments in giving kudos to contributors. None of these is necessary.
