Since all files live in version control, the __author__
mechanism is redundant thanks to git blame
and open to code rot as future authors will inevitably fail to update this tag. In addition, the variable has no standard meaning defined by Python and so will not be predictably picked up by tools.
I propose that instances of this variable are removed.
