The same goes for someone who wants privacy and doesn't want their email listed or someone who has changed their name. I created the AUTHORS file for pulp_file recently and had misgivings about whether each of these contributors would have chosen to have the info I put together as their representative contact info, especially since we squashed down to one name and email which involves making some assumptions.<br><br>I also like Irina's points about redundancy with GitHub's tracking of contributors (though that's a very specific thing that excludes merge commits, and for instance, I have made contributions to pulp through PRs and my name is not listed there), and more importantly, inaccurate and out of date info when hardcoded.<br><br></div><div id="m_2569757806582070487gmail-:5fg" class="m_2569757806582070487gmail-ii m_2569757806582070487gmail-gt m_2569757806582070487gmail-adO"><div id="m_2569757806582070487gmail-:4ta" class="m_2569757806582070487gmail-a3s m_2569757806582070487gmail-aXjCH m_2569757806582070487gmail-m16290cae72bce7d2"><div dir="ltr"><div>I'm +1 to this PR to remove AUTHORS files moving forward.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>--Dana<br></div></font></span></div></div></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><span class=""><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_2569757806582070487gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div> <p style="font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:0;font-size:14px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-bottom:0"><span>Dana</span> <span>Walker</span></p> <p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:10px;margin:0px 0px 4px;text-transform:uppercase"><span>Associate Software Engineer</span><span style="font-weight:normal;color:#aaa;margin:0"></span></p> <p style="font-weight:normal;margin:0;font-size:10px;color:#999"><a style="color:#0088ce;font-size:10px;margin:0;text-decoration:none;font-family:'overpass',sans-serif" href="https://www.redhat.com" target="_blank">Red Hat <span><br><br></span></a></p> <table border="0"><tbody><tr><td width="100px"><a href="https://red.ht/sig" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.redhat.com/files/brand/email/sig-redhat.png" width="90" height="auto"></a> </td> </tr></tbody></table> </div></div></div></div> <br></span><div class="gmail_quote"><span class="">On Wed, Apr 4, 2018 at 8:36 AM, Austin Macdonald <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:amacdona@redhat.com" target="_blank">amacdona@redhat.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></span><div><div class="h5"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">One reason to keep the AUTHORS file is that it allows contributors to specify their contact info instead of just linking to their GitHub page, were they might not have an email listed.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I assume this discussion is restricted to pulp/pulp.
