Emacs lisp file templates?

[Bill Wohler]

  The header of the mh-e files contain stuff from maintainers past.
  Stuff like this:
  
    ;; Time-stamp: <2001-07-15 09:36:30 pavel>
    ;; Maintainer: Bill Wohler <address@hidden>
    ;; Keywords: mail
    ;; Bug-reports: include `M-x mh-version' output in any correspondence

  Some of them are used in other lisp files, others are not. Other
  than the copyright info, I could not find these header fields defined
  in the Information For Maintainers of GNU Software, GNU Coding
  Standards, or the Coding Conventions section of the Emacs Lisp
  manual.

  Is there a document or template that discusses the header of an
  Emacs lisp file and describes what must, should, or could be there?
  Is there software that maintains these header fields? Uses them?

  I'd like these files to be conformant and consistent. I have no idea
  about the former; they certainly aren't the latter. Thanks!
