Hi PJ, do you mean the java doc author tag like:
/**
* Thread safe serializer interface. {@link Fury} is not thread-safe, the implementation of this
* interface will be thread-safe. And support switch classloader dynamically.
*
* @author chaokunyang
*/
We have such tags before joining ASF. If it's not recommanded, I can create a PR to remove it all
Yes - it is the @author
tags that I am referring to.
The ASF likes the idea of collective code owenership. The git history and git blame give a good idea of authorship anyway.
Will be removed in #1282

It is a recommendation (strong one) that the tags are removed but the PPMC could decide to allow them, if people are very attached to them.
I think tags can be removed. Currently only java code contains @author
.
It appears to be unusual to have author tags in ASF code bases. There are exceptions for code that is borrowed from 3rd party sources - if it was not explicitly granted to the ASF.
