I still think your argument is weak. Number of commits, especially in something like documentation, is _not_ at all a good representation of how much you've actually contributed. If you convince _people_, rather than _computers_ that you deserve to be on the credits list, the list will be a whole lot more meaningful, as Goba mentioned. I'm also confident that people here will not let personal feelings get in the way of something like this. If they do, they will not have a valid argument against you appearing on the list and they're opposition will be ignored. -- Andrew Lindeman <alindeman@php.net>
