Thanks, Daniel.
Eli,
I propose the following addition to gdbint.texi:
2008-01-02 Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>
* gdbint.texinfo (Start of New Year Procedure): Add item
describing how to update the source and documentation copyright
notices.
Tested on x86-linux, by rebuilding the HTML documentation.
OK to apply?
Thanks,

Joel
