I get this every time I submit a patch to a new subsystem :-)

This is based on this best practice:

https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/copyright-notices-in-open-source-software-projects/

Basically, the year format quickly becomes outdated and is rather
useless, and listing specific names also ends up missing every
subsequent contributor, so more general copyright statements work better
for this kind of use case. In the end we all know git history is the
proper record of copyright status.

I don't have a super strong opinion here, but we've been trying to
standardize on this format for contributions coming from our subproject,
and it feels more useful than a random contributor's name with a date 5
years in the past :)
