All source code files in the core PEAR distribution should contain
the following comment block as the header:

There's no hard rule to determine when a new code contributor
should be added to the list of authors for a given source file.
In general, their changes should fall into the "substantial"
category (meaning somewhere around 10% to 20% of code changes).
Exceptions could be made for rewriting functions or contributing
new logic.
Simple code reorganization or bug fixes would not justify the
addition of a new individual to the list of authors.
Files not in the core PEAR repository should have a similar block
stating the copyright, the license, and the authors. All files
should include the modeline comments to encourage consistency.
