These metadata might quite easily forgotten to be updated time-to-time. Should we uniformly remove these metadata repo-wide?

Please see https://github.com/dic-iit/bipedal-locomotion-framework/pull/165#discussion_r545022152 for original discussion.

I am in favor of removing them. The name of the file is often obvious, while the name of developers would need to be updated every time someone does a slight modification, and that does not make any sense.
