As outlined here, the copyright notice should probably be updated to include contributors.
But in the case of open source, there will likely be multiple contributors, each retaining their own copyright. You might write something like Copyright [year] Alison, Ben, and Charlie, but as the number of developers grow, things will quickly get out of hand. So lets simplify things and just write, Copyright [year] the [project] contributors.
if you want to be super technical, there’s no reason you couldn’t say [project founder] and the [project name] contributors. In either case, just putting the project founder or maintainer is strictly speaking wrong, assuming others have contributed.
How about updating LICENSE.MD to say something like:
Copyright (c) 2016 :author_name <:author_email> and the :package_name contributors
