AIUI the first year of contributions and the last year of contributions are
important data points for each contributor for a project, and mostly only
the last year as that might be used to calculate when a project becomes
public domain after the dead of an author.

So if I have contributed to something in 2018 and 2020 I find it ok to claim
'Copyright 2018-2020 Holger Levsen'. (Also because I might not have commited
something in 2019 but you have no idea how much I prepared my 2020 commits
in 2019...)

IANAL :) (and please correct me where I'm wrong, half right or whatever.)
