One of the offers is to credit them (I'm not exactly clear

I can see this as being a nice thing but knowing that someone is a
contributor isn't hard. There is a contributor list on the website and it is
obvious from mail lists, archives and simple searches who is actually
participating.
This page would need a refresh IMO. I think it has not been touched
for the last couple of years.
No doubt but if we can't bother to keep that refreshed what makes us
think that a structured format in commit messages that magically
(through a lot of hard work and extra parsing anyway) is going to be any
more accurate?
Sincerely,
