I'm assuming it was an accident.

Hell no. I would expect it to remain "alan" (Alan Cox?) until "davem" actually changes the code. It is good that David Miller has a clue about the code, because people will think he was the last person to change it.

It's all fine as long as "alan" doen't mind and you aren't bothered by random name and version changes.
I would expect you to be bothered by the version changes. It's not really "version control" when that happens. (it was _only_ the version control info that changed)
