I think you should be the author, since you created the file. Most of the structs and functions were (re)written by Laine anyway and we have the copyrights and git history for attributions. But I'd like to hear a second opinion on this.
Per-file authorship is an awkward concept in the age of multiple contributors. When copying and pasting from another file, I tend to preserve the original author if I used most of the code intact, or drop the line entirely if I'm going to do a rewrite. The git log is much more authoratative than an author comment in the file, so I don't care enough to require you to change it - if you are comfortable claiming the work, put your own name.
Yes, as the change is mostly moving and renaming, I decided to keep the original authorship as in the files I moved the code from. I think I'll keep it as is then. Roman Bogorodskiy
