If it's for the purpose of credit only, CHANGES should state that it's
not an actual bug.
Seems like there should be a threshold (i.e. non-trivial) for a new
CHANGES entry for the purposes of credit only... people have to read
this :-)  If it's a significant contribution, simply add the person to
the main CHANGES entry.

Think about it this way... what would have been done if the
bug/improvement was pointed out *before* the main feature had been
committed?  If the contribution happens after commit, treat it the
same.
