    No, The Skara PR in question isn't proposing to do this. Rather it
    is checking that _if_ the Copyright header is updated, it is
    syntactically correct.<br>
    <br>
    It would be an item for further discussion to have Skara actually
    get into the business of whether the copyright header should be
    updated and what the copyright year(s) should be. I personally think
    Skara shouldn't do that, but it is a topic that might be worth
    discussing for a future Enhancement.<br>

                <p>I felt responsibility for the .github files, and
                  wanted to check if there were more build system files
                  needed updating. So I ran a more comprehensive script,

                  to update these headers.</p>
                <p>I agree, this should be automated. We're starting to
                  slowly get there, see <a href="https://github.com/openjdk/skara/pull/1702" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://github.com/openjdk/skara/pull/1702</a>
