A side remark about the format...
Wouldn't it make sense to list the names one per line and alphabetically?

I somehow would even like to put the lastname into the first positon, but there are certainly different opinions and there is a multitude of varieties of how people in different parts of the world write their names. So no need to follow this weak opion of mine.

Maybe it would also make sense to split the list into "Contribution to Axiom" and "Contribution to FriCAS". In the contribution to FriCAS, we could also add the year of contribution, but that is not so important, since it can easily be extracted from the ChangeLog file or the git history.

I've move the names to src/etc/credits.

We have a fairly complete list (42 names) at
src/doc/sphinx/source/contributors.rst

(I "forgot" it since it is buried deep inside directories.)

Maybe we should add them to the end of "src/etc/credits",
so that they can gain better visibility via ")credits".

")credits" is broken after recent setq.lisp -> boot change.

Variable name change (credits -> $credits) is not reflected in
  src/interp/i-syscmd.boot .

Also it is a list of symbols not strings.

Since we are on this subject, shall we convert it into a
text file, just like what we did in ")copyright" and ")summary"?

We could do this.  For now I just commited obvious fix.
