If I understand this correctly authors of original code do not get appreciation of their work on PEAR web-pages if they are not lead developers. Also docblocks contain only strings @author instead of @lead or @maintainer, so even if the person didn't written the code and just incorporates patches (which can be provided, BTW, by other people in most cases). I.e. docblocks make maintainers and lead developers the same as authors, but without writing too much. Lead and maintainer names are on the site, but authors can easily be forgotten. Is that ok?
