Indeed.
It may be most productive to discuss what the outcome should be when a healthy project (with presumably good contributor recognition practices) is forked by a third party without a community connection.
If I create a new UI around Gecko, the 95% majority of my product is still Gecko, so I think Mozilla contributors have to be credited fully. Same for Seamonkey, Camino, KMeleon etc.pp..
I agree about the documentation (as in: end user manual), it's pointless and technically hard to put the credits there.
