Description
There are several pieces of information that some files contain, others do not, examples are:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-at the beginning of a file- License information, eg
# License: BSD 3 clause - List of (some main) authors for that file,
# Authors:
For the following reasons, I'd like to remove the encoding info, and have a consistent policy for the other 2 points:
- As a (newish) contributor, it's hard to figure out what is expected.
- Having those infos consistent in all files might help a tiny little bit to generate trust in the production-readiness of scikit-learn.
I haven't figured out a convincing policy for authors, maybe leave it as is.
Note that changes of those lines of code shouldn't produce merge conflicts, cross referencing #11336.
