We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
* sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c (gaih_addrtuple): Change type of
addr to avoid casts.
(gethosts): Removed.
(gethosts2): Renamed to gethosts. Make it usable for family !=
AF_UNSPEC. Fix AI_V4MAPPED.
(gaih_inet): Remove use of old gethosts. Always use what used to be
gethosts2. If entry is found, try to use the same NSS module's
getcanonname_r function. Use gethostbyaddr for AI_CANONNAME only
if getcanonname_r was not available. Fix filtering of AI_V4MAPPED
addresses. Numerous cleanups.
* resolv/nss_dns/dns-canon.c: New file.
* resolv/Makefile (libnss_dns-routines): Add dns-canon.
* resolv/Versions (libnss_dns): Add _nss_dns_getcanonname_r.
* elf/Makefile: Add rules to build and run tst-dlopenrpath.
* elf/tst-dlopenrpath.c: New file.
* elf/tst-dlopenrpathmod.c: New file.
* intl/tst-gettext.sh: Adjust for change of de.po file to UTF-8.
