We did discuss adding the file into contrib/ before I did so.  As for
the attribution spoofing, I tried to apply the GNU Coding Standards:

  When you install someone else's changes, put the contributor's name in
  the change log entry rather than in the text of the entry.  In other
  words, write this:

       2002-07-14  John Doe  <j...@gnu.org>

               * sewing.c: Make it sew.

  rather than this:

       2002-07-14  Usual Maintainer  <us...@gnu.org>

               * sewing.c: Make it sew.  Patch by j...@gnu.org.

  As for the date, that should be the date you applied the change.

A good idea; I'll try to remember it in future.
