I believe it refers to the page being edited, if you can find a central page listing all the copyright attributions currently present in OpenStack I'll be impressed (there's 200+ variations in Nova alone). What I believe Rich was referring to is this type of attribution which is (very) prevalent in the OpenStack code base - including in the developer documentation within those repos:
