I don't believe there's a rule requiring the addition of such years, but
FSF recommended practice is to add the new year to every file in the
package at the start of the year and forget about doing so thereafter.
(This would obviously require significant scripting effort to set up so we
can just run a command to update all the years at the start of the year in
future.)
