Ok, fine. Any idea why the COPYING file isn't installed as part of the installation? (It usually is?)

Thinking about it I am not sure about the list of copyright holders. Are we going to update the copyright info with every release? Is it good enough if we say that a list of contributors can be extracted from git if someone needs it? Looking for a low maintenance solution here. COPYING is unchanged for the last 20 years, I'd be happy to not touch it again for another 20 years :)

OK, I removed the copyright holder list and replaced by "Copyright information can be found in source files."
