As discussed in the meeting:

<@ulm> my impression is that this is not ready for a vote yet, because
       there was no feedback from the entity listed in the AUTHORS file
<@dilfridge> this proposal is somewhat pointless if we do not have any
             feedback from $CORPORATION people first
<@ulm> yes :)
<@gyakovlev> I have a feeling not enough discussion happened yet.
<@sam_> agreed
<@gyakovlev> especially with copyright holders in that file
<@ulm> let's postpone then
<@mgorny> do we want to assign someone from the Council to work on it?
<@dilfridge> so I suggest we ask robbat2 to obtain that feedback in
             detail first 

@robbat2: Could you try to get feedback from the currently listed
entities whether they are fine with the proposed change?
