Hi Justin,

If I can be of any help, please let me know (and tell me what to do, or =
what not to do)

recommended by the ASF board that they be removed. With the possible =
exception of releases and legal policy that's about as hard as the ASF =
gets. :-) I've already removed most of them anyway (2000 or 3000 odd I'd =
guess). Showing that the code belongs to the community rather than an =
individual hopefully encourages people to contribute. Also given a large =
number of the authors tagged no longer contribute to the project it's =
really only of historical interest.

> The reason I haven't yet removed them from that particular location is =
that it contains (Apache licensed) 3rd party code and I'm not 100% sure =
if we can remove them or not. I'm happy to do the work here (unless =
anyone else wants to help out that is). Was just asking to see what =
other people think.
