I documented the procedure that I used last year, as trunk bzr 115735. It's packaged up as a new script 'admin/update-copyright'. The procedure leaves AIST copyright dates alone, partly because I didn't know about them last year, and partly because I don't know how to update them (there's some relationship between years and copyright registration that I don't understand). I put a FIXME for this into the new file admin/update-copyright.
