I did think about having correct dates and authors, but then I got lazy and in fact got more focussed on getting all the amendments in place.
Now that the core work is done, I'll add corrected dates (perhaps real date + 100 years), authors and committers in one of the later commits.
Thanks for reminding!

Now that the core work is done, I'll add corrected dates (perhaps real date + 100 years), authors and committers in one of the later commits. Thanks for reminding! How would you even do authorship? These amendments are basically institutional works, with sometimes convoluted histories (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-seventh_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-seventh_Amendment_to_th...).
