Alright. Thanks for pointing me at it. I must have scrolled right past that "authors.txt", assuming that it was the AUTHORS file of the repository.
My suggestion for added clarity would be: - create an AUTHORS file with your names in it - rename authors.txt to apertium_svn_authors.txt or something like that The [email protected] addresses do indeed make more sense than pure dummy addresses, since they are at least theoretically valid addresses of the respective authors.
