yes, i will actually share the copyright, if possible.
 

Moreover, you removed 'Author: Kiarie Kahurani' lines while you want to
add your name into a Copyright line now. Only SUSE was mentioned as the
copyright holder when you created the files. This makes me think you
might have contributed this as part of your contract with SUSE in which
case you are most likely not the copyright holder (even though you
didn't use a @suse.com email, but that's not rare some people just keep
using their personal email).

i did this as part of GSoC. there was no contract.

i think an email is personal enough that it shouldn't appear on copyright notice just like i can't have my phone number on the copyright declaration.
