suggest some Git repository.)
There are projects like HackMD useful for this, but for me, it's
Valerie's discretion to choose the tools. Anyway, thank you for
inspiration for another credit issue example.
Two concrete examples:
How I got robbed of my first kernel contribution – Ariel Miculas

I took the time to read Ariel’s article, and I think this is blown out
of proportion. Ariel was credited, and the subsystem maintainer
Michael apologized. Things happen.
Has this issue come up more often in the RIPE related Open source
projects (BIRD, Quagga, OpenBGPD, XORP, DHCP, RRDtool, ntop and
Nagios, …), that the working group wants to take this on?
At least with BIRD, we had issues (not escalated tho) when contributions
were credited poorly, and we already did some internal decisions to try
to credit the contributions properly. I also suspect that some
contributors actually got discouraged by our approach to their
contributions in farther history. This way, having a written policy how
to do it, is a step which seems to be helpful at least for us.
Have a nice holiday season!
Maria
