In the early Serializer introduction, Nils had a few commits in my
branch that got all squashed into "Added Serializer Component" - he
still has @author tags though, but it's not something that never happened :)

Yeah given the git learning curve I guess we want to cut people some
slack if we don't want to lose contributors. But writing a good doc
would definitely go a long way, so at least you can point to it even if
you merge a "bad" PR, and maybe next time it's better.
