It is actually not necessary to contact (every) author. Since all authors 
have agreed to v2+, they have already accepted v3.

The change to v3 can be done just like any other code change, but since 
the license is fairly fundamental, at least the project administrators 
should agree. Being a community project, I also think it's important that 
all developers, both those with Subversion write access as well as others, 
have a chance to comment.
