Some years ago I did that, but then we had to change the license and there were some strange "copyright" laws in Germany and other countries. Basically, if you add a svn comment that a patch was from a person, you grant that person the right to veto all license issues and the right to withdraw his patch. Some countries have a "fair use" clause that allows to ignore rights for small patches. Germany does not have a "fair use" clause, in fact, German has no word for "fair". So it is no problem to add a name to the contributors list, but it can be a problem to name someone for a specific patch. It's ridiculous. I know. > AFAIK, svn doesn't make any distinction between committer and author.
