Ha, ironically, eadler@ dropped that line from archivers/nwreckdum/pkg-descr.

Eitan, I believe that goes a bit beyond removing "maintainer tags".  While I
was always supporting to removing this old-school attribution (popular in
those days when community was small and those names of people who submitted
the port/package or simply made it useful made some sense -- but those days
are gone, FBoFW), removing original author name is probably wrong.
