Hi,
On the last release of Structures_DataGrid, when writing the ChangeLog, I have
tried to thank every contributor, especially the great people that report bugs.
But why are the PEAR bug reports anonymous ? E-mail addresses are no names, my
Changelog enumerates many "Thanks foo at bar dot com" pointless statements.
For example, in Debian, changelogs properly name every one who report bugs. That
recognition is important for people to come back and report more bugs.
The solution simply is to add a Name field to the bug report form. It wouldn't
be required but I believe that most people would fill it.
