The submitter field isn't that significant anyway. While there are a few
cases where it might be quite useful, it isn't supposed to credit the
original submitter (keep in mind that it also contains "false"
information if a package is moved to the binary repositories and moved
back to the AUR later). The header comments should be used to credit any
contributors, instead.
