I have to agree, though in the upstream projects with which I'm
involved, those generated files are basically a lossy re-encoding of
metadata from the Git repositories themselves: AUTHORS file
generated from committer headers, ChangeLog files from commit
subjects, version information from tag names, and so on. Some of
this information may be referenced from copyright licenses, so it's
important in those cases for package maintainers to generate it when
making their source packages if not using the sdist tarballs
published by the project.
