new standard comment header for all source files #1002
Description
We need to re-write the current standard comment header in our source files to better reflect the changes that have happened to the project since its early pre-2013 days.
The current header reads
# -*- Mode: python; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode:nil; coding:utf-8 -*-
# vim: tabstop=4 expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4

#@tylerjereddy is tackling the citation changes (#993) in PR #1001. However, given the overwhelming contributions from a big developer team it is not appropriate anymore that Naveen's, Liz's and my own name are so prominently displayed.
I would suggest something along the lines of
# -*- Mode: python; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode:nil; coding:utf-8 -*-
# vim: tabstop=4 expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4
