Per-file authorship is an awkward concept in the age of multiple
contributors. When copying and pasting from another file, I tend to
preserve the original author if I used most of the code intact, or drop
the line entirely if I'm going to do a rewrite.  The git log is much
more authoratative than an author comment in the file, so I don't care
enough to require you to change it - if you are comfortable claiming the
work, put your own name.
