Please complete the following tasks

Clap Version

3.2.5

Describe your use case

The copyright on the MIT license is widely out of date.
This makes is harder to give proper attribution for the project.
The author field is also missing from the Cargo.toml

Describe the solution you'd like

At least update the copyright of clap to something like Clap Core Team.
If possible also add this to the author of the Cargo.toml
Thanks!

docs(license): Update years/holders

Without copyright assignment, everyone owns their own copyright, so
tried to reflect that.

See #3875

I've updated the years and noted that the copyright is owned by the contributors.

I'm leaving out author field as I've not been a fan of it (leaving people out, generic "team" authors being useless) and was glad when cargo switched to it being optional (the motivation for that was that names are not immutable)

Make sense, it's just a pain when you try to automate license attribution but all good. Thanks!
