In pacman, we'd just run `make update-copyright` to update this in many files in the codebase. But it does need remembering.
That is a good thing if there are multiple locations to update but it does not really help if there only is a single spot.
We already autogenerate the date for the main aurweb interface:
https://git.archlinux.org/aurweb.git/tree/web/template/footer.php#n8
__('Copyright %s 2004-%d aurweb Development Team.', '©', date('Y'))
cgit is different since we can only use HTML.
Yeah. We could add an intermediate step to generate the HTML footer but I don't think the benefits would outweigh the additional maintenance burden. So let's keep it as-is for now... Regards, Lukas
