Probably, but with no progress. I've just had an issue with wrong
copyright holders with oslo.privsep, which is very new. So,

Well, this wiki entry doesn't even have a single line about copyright
holding, it only tells about licensing and how/when to put a license
header in source code. Or did I miss it when reading too fast?
