GPL copyright notice when contributing new files

Viewed 16693

How do I go about writing a GPL copyright notice when contributing new files rather than modifying a file? In the project, all files start with:

/**
 * Some open source application
 * Component Foo
 * (C) 20?? by Scruffy H. Hacker (scruffy@foo.bar)
 * Released under the GPL
 *
 * Awesome description here.
 */

Should I only put my name in the copyright notice, like so:

/**
 * Some open source application
 * Component Bar
 * (C) 20?? by Tobier Hackerson <tobier@foo.bar)
 * Released under the GPL
 *
 * Awesome description here.
 */

Or should I include the original creator of the project:

/**
 * Some open source application
 * Component Bar
 * (C) 20?? by Scruffy H. Hacker (scruffy@foo.bar)
 * (C) 20?? by Tobier Hackerson (tobier@foo.bar)
 * Released under the GPL
 *
 * Awesome description here.
