For example, looking at this page:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/vim/
I see that you (together with Marius Gedminas) wrote this marvelous text
editor, which in my estimation took thousands of work hours, so I'll
happily donate to you. Does this sound fair?
Good point. And it is not only about donations. It is about giving
proper credit. And also about accountability - similar issue is curently
discussed in "Maemo extras repository package uploader/maintainer
verification?"
There should be a way to specify and see original authors (upstream
project) and Maemo maintainter/packager.
I have same problem with ScummVM. I don't like being mentioned as
'Author'. Previously I had the homepage link pointing to my page too
(with maemo specific help) but later changed it to www.scummvm.org to
make it clear I am not the author.
And BTW at that time it was possible to tag wiki page with downloads
project name and the link to such page was visible in downloads. I used
it for having extra link to maemo specific help but this feature went
away with midgard to mediawiki wiki move.
