How to handle different sets of copyright holder lines? #101

Description

@peterjc

How do you suggest handling different lists of copyright holders and/or dates in different files? For example, suppose the main LICENSE and template tries to capture the union of all contributors - an example based on that from #64:

 Copyright © 2023-2024 John Doe <john@example.com>
 Copyright © 2020-2022 Steve Luamo <steve@luamo.com>
 Copyright © 2015-2022 Leve Stuamo <leve@stuamo.com>

Some of the project files might match the above perfectly - the easy case. However, the project might have some new code files just by John:

 Copyright © 2023-2024 John Doe <john@example.com>

But there could be some static files which John has not edited which are only copyright by the original team, e.g.

 Copyright © 2015-2017 Leve Stuamo <leve@stuamo.com>

Leaving aside #64 on which lines if any need updating with --use-current-year, is there anyway to handle this gracefully in this hook?
