In the FAQ on Emacs 26.2, it says:
> This is the version of the FAQ distributed with Emacs 26.2,
> and mainly describes that version.
But it also says further down:
> [This version has been heavily edited since it was
> included in the Emacs distribution.]
I'm not sure how to interpret that. Does that line make sense in a
released version?
Thanks,
Stefan Kangas

So as not to imply that the people mentioned in the Copyright lines
above that are solely responsible for the contents, I presume.

Ah, now I understand. Maybe I'm unusually slow, but could we please
clarify that by adding "in the year 2000" after "included in the Emacs
distribution"?
Thanks,

Sure, why not?

Thanks. I've now added a comment to that effect in commit b289ceaf79.
I'm therefore closing this bug.
Note however that it was actually included in 1999, so that's what I
added. Here's the initial commit:
commit 71e6882726cc7904f4e1852d6e703590748150d6
Author: Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
Date: Wed Sep 1 11:06:25 1999 +0000
Initial revision
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
