   Right now, we only do copyright year updating in pkgdev commit for the Gentoo repository, but it can be useful in other repositories.

   I agree. Also Gentoo Foundation -> Gentoo Authors updating should be available to other official Gentoo repositories as well. In particular, I'm thinking of GURU here, which generally does not get merged into ::gentoo and where contributors occasionally push ebuilds with Gentoo Foundation copyright notices.

   See also #11. I'm not sure if this belongs in a metadata/ file or in .editorconfig.

   I don't see how EditorConfig is the right tool for this. None of the supported k-v pairs allow specifying a copyright template.

   The spec has:

   EditorConfig cores shall accept and report all syntactically valid key-value pairs, even if the key is not defined in this specification.
   EditorConfig plugins shall ignore unrecognized keys and invalid/unsupported values.

   editorconfig k/vs can be extended although there's no extension namespace (so no prefix which is reserved for extensions).

   It feels like a decent fit, but I don't insist on us using it.
