The convention I am familiar with for date ranges is roughly that documented here: https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html The tl;dr is that the years or ranges document the last significant change. On the other hand, I'd say most notmuch code has the copyright date it is created, and that is never changed. So I'd say go with creation date, or some actual date ranges that we will probably forget to update. OK, I agree it's nit picky. But it's a nit picky patch ;). d
