I'm wondering how come this has suddenly gotten so complicated.
We got through a dozen major releases without so much angst about
how to credit people. I tend to think Andrew's right: we are
overthinking this, and are in danger of instituting a set of
bureaucratic rules that will result in endless arguments, without
really making anybody happier than before.
I haven't yet heard any very good argument for deviating from our
past practice, which is to credit just the principal author(s)
of each patch, not reviewers.
