Because he obviously contributed the the package, according to
CONTRIBUTORS.txt

This does not ensure that he holds copyright.  Perhaps he signed it
over, or his employer holds it. Please avoid listing copyright claims
we can't be sure about.

21:25 < tarzeau> spwhitton: so that means drop Jan Gerner from
d/copyright of the next fonts-arapey upload? what about the Google LLC?
21:25 < tarzeau> just keep Eduardo and The Arapey Project Authors
03:25 < spwhitton> tarzeau: please follow up by e-mail, rather than
swithcing mediums :)

I'm sorry for not replying until now.

The safest way is only to list those individuals where a copyright claim
is explicitly stated in the package (or on its homepage, etc.).

that's a bit the clinch, the place I got it from (source tarball) lists:

CONTRIBUTOS.txt with
Eduardo Rodríguez Tunni <edu@tipo.net.ar>
Jan "Yanone" Gerner <post@yanone.de>

AUTHROS.txt says
Eduardo Rodríguez Tunni <edu@tipo.net.ar>
Google, LLC


so my d/copyright still reads:
Copyright: 2018-2020 Eduardo Rodríguez Tunni <edu@tipo.net.ar>
                     Jan "Yanone" Gerner <post@yanone.de>
                     Google, LLC
           2011 The Arapey Project Authors
