Do the author tags need to be removed for release? Is it a general
Apache policy to not include author tags or is it project specific? (I
quickly checked out log4j and I see lots of author tags there...)


It is not good practice. In log4j, almost all @author tags belong to committers no longer active in the project so they no longer function as a "no trespassing" sign. Sorry to be a bad example.


Also our NOTICE is copied from Roller, so if it is indeed wrong someone
may want to inform them as well.

I see new checkins of the NOTICE file so I assume a new vote will be
happening shortly.
