It's not documented as being invariant. As I understood it, it's referring to a person, not a state of his identity. I.e. if a person changes name and/or e-mail address, the header may be updated. Another questi1on I would like to ask here is: are we changing headers after repocopies? I always thought that for historical purposes they should be left unchanged, but many after-repocopy commits change them to refer to the new maintainers.
