In the mainline JDK, we've long since stopped adding new `@author` tags. (I've actually removed some of my `@author` tags in some test code.) In preparation for a future where Float16 is in the mainline JDK, I suggest this information be recorded in some other fashion, at least when integrated into the mainline.

The `/contributor ` Skara command can be used to record multiple co-authors of the code in a PR. That is one way this information could be preserved when integrated into the mainline.
