I find the explicit naming of each person too difficult to maintain and claim that it is already wrong for quite many files. I suggest to have a general preamble for each file and to have a file COPYING in the Dumux root folder that lists the names and time periods of each copyright holder. For an example of a COPYING file, see one of the Dune core modules. This would allow for easy maintenance, since one could check each half year the committers and adapt a single file. If no one objects, I would do this before 2.2.
