I think that the simple solution is to have the tags removed, because 
they have made no independent direct contribution to the project.  I'm 
only guessing, but they are internal authors on the work at Sun, and 
have nothing to do with the project at the ASF.  Their work, which was 
owned by Sun, was contributed as part of the CCLA-ed contribution that 
was just committed.

Is that right?
