I think it changes not as a function of time but as a function of
committer. E.g., my ChangeLog script sets the changelog author to the
git author.

Putting the author's name in the ChangeLog author place makes for
fewer differences between people with a commit bit and people without
one. That's consistent with the gist of guidelines elsewhere, e.g., Freenode's
[I didn't check Libera's] "don't wear the op hat whilst not using it" and Apache's
"don't use @author tags in source files".
(I'm not advocating for a particular option; I'm just presenting one argument.)
Cheers,
Daniel
