If "Created by" was a minor thing then changing it should've been left
to committer's discretion e.g., on substantial changes. Unfortunately,
portmgr@ requires the original author consent as if it was a copyright
but when asked how the importance was concluded the answer is a joke.

Like a broken record:

"Why blue?"
"Because we have a policy."
"Where? Did you consult a domain expert?"
"I don't want to go over it again. It was a minor thing."
"Then why did you need a policy?"
"Can never be too careful."
