Yes, if we keep the maintenance burden at a minimum.

To be "correct" we need to put the legal name of the copy right holders into the file. I don't think we can effort that. Copying the email address from the git commit to the file is a reference to the list of copyright holders.

Why not follow the pattern from:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/main/COPYING

// SPDX-FileCoprightText: 2000-2022 The respective Mixxx authors

The maintanace burden is to advance the year when editing the file. That can be done by a commit hook

How will the licence identifier look like?
