This is Emacs, so doing this in Lisp would be the default ;-) Also, given the comments David and others posted, I think this calls for non-trivial text processing, so I think Lisp is a better vehicle for technical reasons as well. It's quite possible such a feature needs to allow the user to interactively decide whether a given change justifies copyright updates. If this is written, I think it belongs to admin.el.
